Introductory 



AVERY prominent dairyman once said that, to know a 
breed, one needs to understand its nature, its nurture, 
and its ideal. That is, one must realize what it has inherited 
from its ancestry, the influence the environment in which it 
was reared has given it, and finally, what the animal itself 
has been able to add as its measure of excellence. 

Heretofore no attempt has been made to collate all the 
results that have been accomplished by the Guernsey breed. 
When one pauses and recalls the past he realizes what the 
varied conditions which have quietly exerted their influence 
on the breed are. A study of the conditions on the Island is 
most interesting. The Island people in their manner of han- 
dling and caring for the breed and their tenacity shown in 
protecting its purity have contributed greatly to the develop- 
ment of the breed. 

No one has been more fortunately situated to know all 
this, and no one has more zealously endeavored to become 
familiar with all phases of the history and development of 
the breed, than has the author of this book. His connection 
with the breed for more than a quarter of a century has given 
him a splendid insight into its characteristics. His early 
experience at the home farm as a breeder and developer of 
Guernseys, his knowledge of the affairs of The American 
Guernsey Cattle Club, gained as a member of its executive, 
board and two years as its president, and his experience as an 
importer, which has taken him on many trips to the Island of 
Guernsey, have enabled him to bring together material that 
is of great value to all breeders. 

Though Guernseys have been introduced and have found 
favor all over the world, it is fitting that a composition of 
their history should first appear in the United States, where 
they have been so highly appreciated. 

The rapid advance which the breed has made through its 
ability to produce the highest class dairy products most eco- 
nomically has always been a great source of satisfaction to its 
admirers. 

The future of the Guernsey is a bright one. The public 
is fast demanding a better class of dairy products and is rap- 



idly learning" to make a distinction between the different 
grades of milk, cream and butter. The Guernsey and her 
grades stand without a peer in the economical production of 
products having the highest natural color and finest flavor. 

The author's endeavor to place in permanent form the 
results that have been accomplished in breeding Guernseys 
will be thoroughly appreciated by the breeders. It will give 
them a better foundation of knowledge and a clearer concep- 
tion of the results which they may expect to accomplish.

CHAPTER I 

The Island of Guernsey 

The Island of Guernsey and the sister islands of Jersey, 
Alderney, Sark, Herm, and Jethou, and several others that are 
little more than rocks, form the Channel Islands group, and 
are situated in the English Channel not far from the coast of 
France. Guernsey is 69 miles southeast of the nearest point 
on the English coast and about 28 miles from the nearest 
point on the coast of France. Jersey is about 22 miles south- 
east of Guernsey and 15 miles from the coast of France, and 
Alderney is 22 miles northeast of Guernsey and only eight 
miles from the nearest point on the French coast. Sark and 
Herm, the only other islands of the group that are inhabited, 
lie between Guernsey and the coast of France. Jersey, the 
largest of the group, contains about 45 square miles ; is in 
general conformation sloping to the south ; and has a slightly 
milder climate than Guernsey, where the general slope of the 




Rocquaine Bay, Guernsey. 

land is northward. Jersey is noted not only for its cattle but 
also for the enormous quantities of early potatoes that are 
raised and shipped to the English markets. 

Guernsey is nine miles in extreme length and five miles 
in width, and has an actual area of 24 square miles. Ragged 
granite blullfs characterize almost its entire coast, and the sur- 
rounding sea is very dangerous to navigate, due not only to 



10 



The Guernsey Breed 



the larg-e number of sunken, jagged rocks, but also to the 
rapid tides that flow in and out among the islands. At no 
point between Guernsey and the coast of France does the 
sea exceed 100 feet in depth, and the rush of the tides back 
and forth through the English Channel, connecting with the 
North Sea, coupled with the dense fogs that prevail at many 




Garden Rocks, Alderney. 

seasons of the year, all add to the dangers of navigation about 
the islands. • 

Alderney is only about one by three miles in extent, and 
Sark is not far from the same size. 

The sea about the islands is, indeed, a graveyard for 
ships. A diver who a few years ago went down among the 
rocks at the southwest corner of Guernsey to locate the founda- 
tion for the Hanois Lighthouse said he counted the wrecks 
of over 50 vessels of all periods of time, from the Caesars 
down to the present. I myself saw, in 1910, the wrecks of 



The Guernsey Breed 11 

four large freight steamers, each carrying over 5,000 tons of 
coal, piled up on the rocks of Alderney. All had gone ashore 
during two weeks. 

The islands are well equipped with lighthouses, beacons 
and signals, and after the wrecks just mentioned a very large 
and powerful new lighthouse was erected on the island of 
Alderney. 

About 20 miles east by north of Guernsey is a dangerous 
reef of rocks called the Casquets. On one of these rocks is 
located a very powerful lighthouse, but in spite of this light 
many notable wrecks have occurred there. Perhaps the most 
notable was that of the man-of-war \'ictory, of 110 guns, with 
Admiral Sir John Balchen and 1,100 sailors and marines on 
board, which foundered October 5, 1744, and all perished. 

A recent notable wreck was that of the steam packet 
Lydia, of the London & South Western Railroad Company, 
which, running as a special Good Friday excursion boat, was 
wrecked here and hundreds of persons perished. 

But an account of all the shipping disasters that have oc- 
curred in these treacherous waters would fill a volume. 

The passage separating the Island of Alderney from a 
small island just off the west coast is called the Swinge, and 
here the tides sometimes reach a velocity of 12 miles per 
hour. It is a strange sight, indeed, to one unaccustomed to 
such mysteries of the deep, to pass through the Swinge when 
the tides are strongest and see the wonderful rush of water 
over the rocks out in the sea. It is almost equal at its worst 
to the whirlpool rapids at Niagara. 

The passage between Alderney and France is called the 
Race of Alderney. and here also the tides ebb and flow in a 
manner inconceivable to a landsman. The tides on the coasts 
of the islands themselves are very high, having reached, at 
extreme spring tides. 50 feet on the Island of Jersey and more 
than 40 feet on the Island of Guernsey. On the coast of 
Normandy opposite, tides of 60 feet have been recorded. 

Great damage is often done to the piers, breakwaters and 
beaches by storms that sometimes occur during these high 
tides. I saw on the Island of Alderney, in March, 1911, one 
such storm. The accompanying illustration gives one some 
idea of the height of the waves, when it is known that the 
breakwater here is 20 to 30 feet above the sea level of this 
extremely high tide. This breakwater is a part of the admiralty 
works and forts, constructed between 1848 and 1852, in the

endeavor to make a harbor of. refuge for English war vessels 
close to the coast of France. It was originally nearly a mile 
long, 30 feet or more in width, and 50 feet above the average 
sea level. It was scarcely completed when a great storm 
washed away about one-third of it, and it was never re- 
constructed. 

The British government still keeps a large force of men 
at work quarrying granite, great blocks of which, together 
with ponderous cement blocks six to eight feet square, are 
constantly being swung off into the sea beside the breakwater 
to protect it from the violence of the waves. One severe 
storm will often destroy the product of a year's labor of this 
force of men. Long rows of these blocks have been linked 
together with iron two inches in diameter, and yet all have 
been ground up by the force of wind and water. In the sea 
on the inside of the breakwater may be seen pieces of rock 
weighing tons that have been thrown over the breakwater 
from the seaward side during storms. 

There are 10 forts around the shores of Alderney, only 
two or three of which are now in use. One of these, Fort 
Albert, commanding the entrance to the harbor, is situated 
on a rocky point 300 feet above the sea, and is mounted with 
large modern guns that doubtless would prove a formidable 
defense aeainst any hostile vessels. There are from 500 to 
800 British soldiers quartered at this fort. 



The Guernsey Breed 



13 



There are two forts on Guernsey. One of them, Castle 
Cornet, standing on a rock in the sea at the entrance of the 
harbor, has played an important part in the history of the 
island, as well as in the French and English affairs at least 
as far back as 1275. The other fort on the island is about half 
a mile across the bay from Castle Cornet, and is known as 
Fort George. In these two fortresses are stationed 600 to 
800 British soldiers, and on almost any day, especially on 
Sunday, an American visitor would be reminded of "when 
the redcoats took the town," at sight of these soldiers in. their 
gay red uniforms promenading the streets. They saunter in 
groups of two to half a dozen, but more frequently one of 
these gaily decorated protectors of His Majesty will be seen 
walking arm in arm or hand in hand with the sweetheart that 
occupies his attention as long as he remains on the island. 

In nearly every bay and on many of the prominent points 
of Guernsey are small ancient towers or forts, called Martello 
towers, which are very picturesque. They are built of solid 
masonary four to five feet thick, and are 15 to 20 feet in 
diameter and 30 to 40 feet high. The interior space is limited, 
and each has two circles of loopholes to command every 
direction. There are also ruins of many other old and aban- 
doned forts.

Guernsey has the best harbor of all the islands, and the 
largest ocean-going liners and battleships can enter, but not 
without the assistance of a local pilot, for the passages are 
extremely dangerous. Scarcely a day goes by in summer 
that one or more private yachts belonging to some American 
or English visitor may not be seen in the harbor. 

Guernsey and Jersey's freight, passenger, and mail ser- 
vice with Great Britain is all that could be desired. One 
may leave London on any of three evenings of the week, at 
about 9 :30 on the London & South Western Railroad, take 
ship at Southampton soon after midnight, and be in Guernsey 
at seven and in Jersey at 10 in the morning. On the alternate 
three nights of the week one may leave on the Great Western 
Railroad and embark at Weymouth at 2 :30 a. m. and arrive 
at Guernsey at 7 a. m. This is also the usual schedule of 
winter service. In the summer one may also leave London 
any morning on the Great Western Railroad and arrive in 
Guernsey in time for the evening dinner. These steamship 
lines are owned by two railway companies, and return tickets 
are good on either route. Besides the steam mail packets, 
each railway company runs freight vessels, almost as large, 
every day or two, as the service requires. There is also a 
regular line of steamships running from Guernsey to London 
direct. 

A very interesting system of signals on flag staffs on 
Castle Cornet and on the grounds of Fort George notifies 
the islanders when a mail boat from England or Jersey is 
in sight or is at the wharf. 

TrafBc between the islands is also carried on by small 
steamers. The boats go from Guernsey to Alderney on Tues- 
day morning, going on to Cherbourg, France, Tuesday after- 
noon, and return by the same route on, Wednesday. The 
same voyage is made on Saturday and Sunday, and on Thurs- 
day they go over and back on the same day. A trip is made 
from Guernsey to Sark at least once a week, and during the 
summer season excursion boats run once a week to the Island 
of Herm. 

Herm is about one and one-half miles long and three- 
fourths of a mile wide, and is rented of the English govern- 
ment by Prince Blucher of Germany for a summer home. On 
the eastern side of this island is a very beautiful shell beach 
which is the attraction for summer visitors and is the only 
spot on the island that tourists are allowed to visit. This

beach, several hundred feet long and 200 feet wide at low tide, 
is composed entirely of shells, of which very few are varieties 
that are native to these waters. Many of them are varieties 
that are found only in the West Indies. Pieces of water-logged 
mahogany and other tropical woods have been found mixed 
with the shells. This island also has on it large numbers of 
rabbits and kangaroos. While the kangaroo is a native of 
warmer climates, it thrives here, often becoming so plentiful 
as to destroy the crops, when many are killed off. 

The Island of Sark is to many people the gem of the 
group, and some Americans spend the whole summer there 
without stopping at the larger islands or in England. The 
harbor of Sark, called Creux harbor, is largely artificial, and 
even the small steamers that ply between the islands often 
cannot enter because of a rough sea. At such times the 
visitor is taken to land in a small boat, and even in a moderate 
sea this is a memorable experience for a landsman. Old silver 
and copper mines exist on both Sark and Herm, although they 
have not been worked for years. Amethysts and other rock 
crystal gems are found in small numbers in Sark, and all sorts 
of jewelry purported to be made of Sark stone are offered 
to tourists. These souvenirs are ornamental, but it is ques- 
tionable if any of the stones actually come from Sark. 



16 The Guernsey Breed 

Fish of many varieties are plentiful, and one of the most 
interesting places on the island to visit is the fish market. 
Here on any morning of the week, but especially Saturday 
morning, one may see what is apparently a large part of the 
population of the island dickering and bargaining with the 
fishwives for the fish on display. 

On entering the market one finds himself in a spacious 
arcade nearly 200 feet long with double rows of marble slabs 
covered with fish, and each market woman having a space 
allowance of from four to six feet in length on these tables. 
The fish generally found in the Guernsey market are the 
turbot, cod, red and gray mullet, bass, shrimp, plaice, dole, 
pollock, silver whiting, mackerel, lobster and the conger eel, 
the latter when stretched out on the marble slabs resembling 
a young sea serpent. Also crabs of an immense size are on 
sale. Lobsters are very plentiful and low in price, and several 
hotels, situated on the western side of the island, make a 
specialty of serving lobster luncheons. 

The ormer is a shellfish peculiar to the Channel Islands, 
and at extreme low tides the islanders gather large quantities 
of them. When properly cooked they are a great delicacy. 
Alackerel are so plentiful that they are peddled around the 
streets at three for 10c. In spite of this fact it is hard to get 
mackerel served on hotel tables, and the only reason I can 
think of is that they are so cheap as to be common, while 
almost every day the hotels serve salmon that comes from 
Scotland or Norway, costing 50c a pound. 

Not only are there many local fishermen, but oftentimes 
many French fishing boats may be seen outside the harbor 
or tied up at the beach while the fishermen, trade. 

Quite authentic history of the island dates back to the 
11th century, and it is certain that the Romans landed here 
in the days when they first came to conquer Britain. Old 
ruins are shown the visitor of buildings said to have been 
made by Robert Duke of Normandy, 1029, in return for the 
kindness the inhabitants showed him during a storm when 
his fleet, on its way to England, sought refuge in the Guern- 
sey port. 

As will appear in Chapter II, the French monks seem to 
have become established on the island in the 11th century, 
and the 10 parish churches were built between 1111 and 1117. 
It gives one a feeling of awe to enter one of these churches, 
to think that for 800 years people have been christened and

married in and buried from these same rooms. These parish 
churches now, of course, belong to the established church of 
England, but all sorts of dissenters have their churches on 
the island as well, with services in both English and French. 
The people of Guernsey are largely of French descent, 
and English and patois, called Guernsey French, are spoken 
by nearly every one of the islanders. A few cannot speak 
English, but the Guernsey people are very loyal to England, 
and English is gradually superseding French as the language 
of the majority. The people are hospitable, and, while they

may seem a bit distant to strangers at first, as soon as they 
find that one is "all right" nothing they have is too good for 
one. 

The population of the island is nearly 45,000, and con- 
sidering that the island contains only 24 square miles, one 
may readily see that it is almost as densely populated as 



18 The Guernsey Breed 

some American cities covering the same area. That part of 

the island surrounding St. Peter Port harbor is so thickly 

populated as to be a city, and as one drives out into the 

country one gets almost to the far side of the island before 
it looks like anything else but city. 

Many interesting old buildings are seen. Practically 
nothing has been done to preserve them, and they are usually 
torn down to make way for modern improvements. In the 
days of war between France and England, and during the 
American Revolution, large numbers of privateers and smug- 
gling vessels made these islands their headquarters, and the 
foundation fortunes of many families were made in those 
times. Some of the families of today are proud to claim their 
descent from these men, who were little short of buccaneers. 
Many of the old wine cellars, hewn in the solid rock and used 
in the trade of those early days, can still be seen in the side- 
hills of the town. 

The island has a monetary system of its own, consisting 
of bank notes, state notes, and copper coins designated as one, 
two, four, and eight doubles. The eight-double piece has 
supposedly the value of the English penny, but actually it 
passes at a discount. Guernsey money is the basis of price in 
most business transactions, and if English money is offered in 
payment, a premium of 5 per cent is allowed. Then, besides the 
English money and the local currency, the silver coinage of 
nearly every country of Europe, especially that of France, is 
in daily circulation. The French franc, valued at about 19.3c 
in American money, passes in Guernsey as 10 pence of cur- 
rency, and is used much more commonly than the British 
shilling. At least three of the London banks have branches 
on the island, and there are other local banking institutions. 

In the United States the Channel. Islands are known 
almost altogether because of the breeds of cattle that come 
from them. If one asks people in England if they know the 
Channel Islands, they are likely to reply : "Oh yes, I spent 
my holiday there last summer." An enormous number of 
tourists visit the islands each summer, more in Jersey prob- 
ably than in Guernsey. Most excellent hotels abound on all 
of the islands, and as good accommodations can be secured as 
one will find in American cities of moderate size. 

Fine public gardens are maintained, and an excellent 
means of transportation is provided by the busses that run 
from the town market square out to the center of nearly every

country parish. There is also a trolley line, about two miles 
in length, running from the quay of St. Peter Port, north 
to St. Samson harbor, the only places where vessels larger 
than small fishing boats can land. 

The only industry of any kind on Guernsey, other than 
agriculture, is that of quarrying granite, which is shipped to 
England as paving blocks and crushed granite, there to be 
used in the construction of England's roads. This is a very 
large industry both in Guernsey and Alderney, and large 
steamers laden with the product leave every day. The granite 
is said to be one of the hardest varieties known. 

A splendid system of roads is maintained throughout the 
island, with a total mileage of about 550 miles. Most of them 
have by their sides either stone walls five feet and upward in 
height or earth fences that are often eight or 10 feet thick 
at the bottom, five feet high, and three feet wide at the top. 
The main roads are usually 16 feet wide, but many of the 
roads are called lanes and are not over eight or 10 feet wide. 
Oftentimes at some turn in one- of these lanes two vehicles 
will meet, which means that, unless some farmer's gate is 
convenient for one or the other to drive into, one of them 
must back out.

Gateway at Les Blancs Bois. 



The tops of many of these earth roadside fences are 
covered with gorse, as are many of the cliffs and other waste 
lands. The gorse, known also as furze, may be of added 
interest to some, since it has given rise to the saying: "Love 
will go out of fashion when the gorse ceases to bloom." One 
can find large quantities of this particular plant in bloom 365 
days in ordinary years and 366 days in leap years. It is an 
evergreen plant and, when young and tender, the new growth 
is sometimes cut and used as forage crop, but later it becomes 
woody, and the stalks are bound into bundles and used for 
fuel in the fireplaces and kitchen ranges. 

These roads are all built of granite and are kept in per- 
fect condition, it even being the duty of the children, ap- 
parently, to sweep up the droppings of the horses, for use as 
fertilizer; and in town the streets are not only swept but, 
as the hills are steep, they are sprinkled with finely crushed 
granite to keep the horses from slipping. Motor cars are 
now very numerous on the island. A large part of them are 
of American make, so that the islanders are beginning to re- 
turn a few of the dollars we have paid them for their cattle. 
The horses used on the island, about 6,000 in number, come 
from France or England and are usually of excellent type of 
the smaller, more active cart horse. 



The Guernsey Breed 21 

The climate of Guernsey is semi-tropical, and the range 
of temperature from summer to winter is slight. The ther- 
mometer seldom registers above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 
below 40 degrees, and never remains stationary at the freezing 
point. 

Slight snowfalls occur at rare intervals. In April, 1911, 
snow fell to a depth of 18 inches on the level, and, as April 
would about correspond with our June as regards foliage and 
plant growth in general, one can readily see that much damage 
would be done, although the temperature was not down to 
the freezing point. 

The months of November and December are apt to be 
cold, wet, and disagreeable, with high winds. This is not 
always true, for in a letter received from the Island of Al- 
derney, dated December 17, 1913, the writer said that on that 
day he had picked a beautiful bunch of roses from his garden, 
including crimson ramblers. 

The most severe of the winter weather is generally over 
by the middle of January, and by that time, and often earlier, 
the camellia begins to bloom, followed by almost every variety 
of flower one can mention. The people of the island are won- 
derful lovers of everything belonging to floriculture and horti- 
culture. 

Fuchsias, geraniums, and roses run riot over the houses, 
with such masses of bloom as to make the foliage almost in- 
visible. Another flowering shrub that is planted very fre- 
quently along garden paths and roadways is the blue flowered 
veronica. Many varieties of palms flourish in the gardens 
and the agave, or American aloe, commonly called with us 
the century plant, often blossoms out of doors. In the sum- 
mers of 1911 and 1913 I saw beautiful specimens of this plant 
in blossom with flower stalks 20 to 25 feet high. 

There is also grown a species of lily known as the Guern- 
sey lily. Without doubt this was originally of Japanese origin 
and is supposed to have come to the Island of Guernsey in 
an early day by the wreck of some Japanese or Chinese junk. 

The agriculture of Guernsey is really its marvel. While 
there are a little over 15,000 acres comprising the island, con- 
sidering the space occupied by the rocky cliffs, the 550 miles 
of roads, the towns, houses, barns, other outhouses, and 
fences, with nearly 1,000 acres in one tract that is a barren, 
sandy waste and used for golf commons, it could hardly be 
that more than one-half to two-thirds of the acreage is really 



22 



The Guernsey Breed 



under productive cultivation. Yet, in spite of this, the agri- 
cultural exports from the island for the year 1909 amounted 
to $350 per acre for every acre of the island. 

When it is considered that all of the beef, pork, grain, 
butter, milk, poultry and eggs produced on the island are 
needed for home consumption, and large quantities of the 
vegetables and fruits as well, these export figures are almost 
beyond conception to an American farmer. It is little wonder 
that land sells at $1,000 to $2,000 per acre and rents for from 
$50 to $75 per acre per year. This productiveness is largely 
due to the greenhouse industry, and it is said that if the green- 
houses now on the island were placed end to end they would 
reach 800 miles. Some farmers run as many as 90 houses. 
Not all of these are artificially heated, many of them being 
simply great cold frames. 

Some of the crops grown in these houses are grapes, figs, 
peaches, nectarines, pears, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, cucum- 
bers, French melons, carnations, arums and almost every other 
kind of bulbous flower. 

It hardly seems possible that it would pay to grow po- 
tatoes under glass, but I have seen them selling on the wharf 
for 6d per pound, equal to 12c per pound, or $7 per bushel, 
in American money. 

The largest single crop is tomatoes, and to gain a true 
idea of this industry in Guernsey one must remember that 
many of the plants cultivated here under glass to supply the 
English markets will not grow out of doors in England at 
all, and this is true of the tomato. 




Greenhouses on Guernsey. 



The Guernsey -Breed 23 

To a visitor, perhaps the grape crop is the most interest- 
ing of all the crops grown. Once in two or three years the 
grapes can be forced unusually early, and they often then 
command a price as high as $1.25 per pound, or even more. 
One of the growers told me that in a single season he sold 
$13,000 worth of grapes from four houses. The usual price, 
however, ranges from 25 to 50c per pound. The best of these 
grapes are so much better than any other grapes I have tasted 
that there is no comparison. The varieties mostly grown 
are the Tokays and Muscats, though I think the best of any 
I have tasted is the Canon Hall. 

In the early spring months the amount of flowers shipped 
daily to England is incredible. On the Thursday preceding 
Easter in 1907 I went down to the wharf at 6 a. m. and found 
that the work of transferring flowers from the wagons to the 
boat had proceeded since 4 :30 a. m. Still there was a stream 
of wagons a mile long waiting to unload, and it was after 10 
o'clock before the last of the flowers were safely on board. 
The shipment that day amounted to over 17,000 cases, most 
of which were three to five feet long, a foot wide, and eight 
inches high. 

When the flowers are grown out of doors the fields in 
bloom make a beautiful sight, indeed. I remember a field of 
jonquils that I used to pass every day on my way to the 
country, and as we went out in the morning we saw a force 
of a dozen men, women and girls start picking on one edge 
of the field. When we came back for luncheon at 1 o'clock 
they were half way across the field, and where they had begun 
to pick the yellow was beginning to show again. By night 
the workers had finished, but on the side where they had 
begun the field was almost as yellow as it was in the morning. 
The picking went on day after day, and later, when the flower 
season was over and the plants had died down, the field 
would be planted to vetches and oats, either to be fed as a 
soiling crop or more often to be grazed ofif by cows tethered 
there. Still later the field might grow a crop of turnips. This 
succession of crops may go on for two or three years, when, 
after the last crop, the field would be spaded over by hand 
and an enormous quantity of bulbs harvested, many of the 
best of them going to the bulb dealers of New York, Phila- 
delphia and Chicago. 

Many of the crops grown in the houses are planted in 
pots, and when the crop is matured the pots are carried out, 
and some other plants that have been started in pots are

carried in. Still another system somewhat in vogue is as fol- 
lows : A piece of land 100 feet wide and 400 to 600 feet long 
is laid out in tracts perhaps 40 to 50 feet wide and the longest 
way across the field. Then two or three glass houses, each 
40 by 100 feet, are so arranged that they can be moved up 
or down on small railroad-like tracks, and from one tract to 
another, thus to force any crop in the field. These houses, 
of course, are not artificially heated. 

Everything about this greenhouse industry is carried on 
very systematically, except the marketing. Having talked 
many times with dififerent growers and marketmen, I am con- 
fident that generally a more uniform price could be obtained 
with less waste of produce if they would organize a co-oper- 
ative market association. Many of the growers ship in their 
own names to the commission merchants of nearly every city 
of Great Britain, while others sell their produce on the island 
to wholesale merchants that market in more wholesale quan- 
tities. 

While there is considerable commercial fertilizer used, 
dependency is largely placed on the manure made by the 
horses and cattle of the island. Every farm has a very care- 
fully cared for compost heap, to which is carted not only 
manure from the stables but every bit of waste vegetable 
matter and scattered leaves that can be gathered from the 




(iatliering seavvted on Guernsi-y.

farm. Then at certain seasons of the year, when the laws 
allow, many farmers draw large quantities of seaweed, which 
is spread on the gardens and meadows. The seaweed adds 
both fertilizing elements and humus to the soil and does not 
seem to bring salt enough to the land to do it any injury. 

Much of the central northern part of the island is below 
sea level at high tide and has been reclaimed from the sea. 
There are some fields that still have tide gates that close 
automatically at high tide and open at low tide to let the 
drains empty their water into the sea. 

The cattle are fed largely on hay and roots. The root 
crops are mangolds, parsnips and carrots. This is the only 
place where I know parsnips to be grown for cattle food. 
Even here the best farmers seem to consider them to be of 
more value for fattening purposes than for milk production. 

The hay grown is quite largely alfalfa or, as they call it, 
lucerne, mixed with red clover and Italian rye grass. Alfalfa 
seems to do very well there, and I have been unable to find 
any good reason why they do not sow it alone. But certain, 
it is that the alfalfa and Italian rye grass together make as 
fine hay as one could wish to have. Because of the frequent 
rains and the many foggy days, the haying proposition is a 
very different one from that of the American farmer. The hay 
lies for a week or more in the swath, and still it is surprising 
what beautiful hay is made. There are few barns in which

to store hay, so it is nearly all stacked out of doors in great 
stacks containing up to 50 tons. Because of the difficulty 
of curing the hay it is often stacked quite damp, and wooden 
chimneys a foot square and with sides bored full of holes are 
frequently placed in these stacks to allow the moisture to 
escape more easily as the sweating process goes on. These 
hay stacks are a work of art and, when they are through 
sweating and settling, they are frequently very carefully 
thatched with rye straw, giving the hay as much protection 
from the elements as a barn. 

The farmers there will tell you that thatching is becoming 
a lost art, and many are now constructing ricks for their hay 
by setting tall upright poles and having a roof made of cor- 
rugated galvanized steel roofing that slides up and down on 
the poles so that it can be kept close to the top of the stack 
for protection. 

While one sees many American and English farm tools 
about the farms, especially mowers, tedders and rakes, much 
of the work is done by hand labor that would be done by 
machinery in this country. One will not wonder at this, how- 
ever, when one finds that the average price of farm labor on 
the island is $12 a month, the men boarding themselves. In 
the spring of 1912 I brought a young man over with me, 19 
years of age, who was working for a farmer on Alderney for 
the munificent sum of 4s currency per week, which is equal 
to 92c in our money, and for board he seldom had anything 
else than bread and tea. It is little wonder, then, that every 
young man who can get an opportunity to emigrate leaves 
home at once. Not all of them who come to Canada and the 
United States adapt themselves to the conditions of work and 
living in this country, so that they become contented, hence 
quite a few of them eventually find their way back home. 

Some of these returned Guernsey men, however, have ac- 
quired a competence while in this country, and two of them, 
once successful New York merchants, have given the island 
a very good free library, called after them the Guille-Allez 
Library. 

Like every other country in Europe, these islands have 
contributed many settlers to the United States who have 
settled in community groups. One will find in these places 
relatives of nearly every family on the island. Guernsey 
county, Ohio, was first settled by people from this island.

Often families visit back and forth from the island with their 
friends in America. 

While a few of the cattle are pastured, nearly all of them 
are tethered, and this is done by the use of iron tether pins 8 to 
10 inches long, with a chain about 16 feet long and containing 
a swivel attached to the chain or to the rope around the horns. 
The animals are moved every two or three hours and only 
about three feet at a time. They are thus unable to trample 
down any of the fresh food with their feet, and in this way 
it is possible to do successful tethering along side of vetches 
and oats that will often be five feet high and that I did see 
above my head in 1913. 

Many of the farmers cut these grain crops and draw them 
to the barn or to racks in the fields and use them as soiling 
crops. Very limited amounts of grain are harvested and 
threshed, but the yield is very good indeed. I saw a small 
field of winter wheat on the Island of Alderney that yielded 
upward of 50 bushels per acre. 

The Island of Guernsey abounds in many places of in- 
terest for those who delight to delve into the antiquities of a 
country. There are several cromlechs and Druidical remains 
on the island. A Mr. Lukes, who was greatly interested in 
the study of the ancient inhabitants of these islands, dug 
under some of these cromlechs and altars and collected the

pottery, arms and cooking utensils found there. He later 
established the museum that now bears his name, which is 
open to the public. It contains a large and interesting col- 
lection of these antiquities. 

Perhaps the chief place of interest to visitors is the home 
of Victor Hugo, who lived here while exiled from France. 
The house is still owned by the family and is open part of 
each day to visitors who wish to view the interior. The home 
of Victor Hugo has additional interest to lovers of antique 
furniture because it is filled with the choicest specimens of 
old English styles. It was here that Hugo wrote the book 
"Les Miserables." If one desires to read a book that is not 
only a beautiful and fascinating story but which also contains 
wonderful nature descriptions and from which he will learn 
much concerning the customs of the people of the island, he 
will surely be interested in reading Hugo's "Toilers of the 
Sea." Nearly every shop on Guernsey offers it for sale in 
editions from 6d up. 

The homes of the island are nearly all built of stone, 
brick, tile, or cement, with many of the older ones still having 
thatched roofs. The more modern ones have roofs of slate, 
tile, cement, or asbestos shingles. Many of the farmers are 
freeholders and the farms are handed down from veneration

to generation. Nearly every house, whether in town or 
country, has a name of its own and is spoken of by that name. 
It is much easier to find a man if you can tell the name of 
his house than it is even to know his name. This is a custom 
that American farmers could well copy. It adds a certain 
touch of sentiment that is well worthy of imitation. 

There is a beautiful custom that exists in this connection. 
When a young couple are married and move into a house 
that has not been previously occupied by ancestors of either 
of the pair, they are permitted to carve their initials over the 
doorway, with the date of their marriage. This then remains 
as long as they or their descendants live in the house. The 
accompanying illustration shows one such doorway, being of 
a farmhouse known as the Grandes Capelles. My friend, 
W. W. Marsh, while once standing in front of this doorway, 
remarked to Mrs. Robillard, the present mistress of the home 
and who was a Miss Robin: "Seventeen seventy-two! My, 
isn't that an old house?" Mrs. Robillard replied almost in 
scorn and disgust: "That isn't when the house was built; 
that is when we moved in." 

Not until we American farmers come to love a farm 
home and to think of it as something more than a piece of 
real estate to be sold to the first person that will offer a 
little more than it's worth will we care for such a home and 
wish to hand it down to our descendants in a little better 
condition than we found it ; and not until then will we be 
worthy to possess the deed to 40, 80, or more acres of the 
rich soil of our United States. 

Most of the cow stables of the island are anything but 
models for the purpose for which they were intended, and, 
though each year finds some more modern stables being con- 
structed, most of the older ones have floors made of cobble 
stones, 4 or more inches in diameter, partially bedded in 
cement, and, as little bedding is obtainable, one can well 
imagine the filthy condition in which many of the stables are 
found. A good percentage of the cattle are kept in the stables 
at night, in both summer and winter. 

The calves, when a very few days old, are fed on the 
milk from the churn, which is more like sour skimmed milk 
than like our butter-milk. I venture to say that there are 
many old cows on the island that have never tasted grain, 
but more and more farmers are each year feeding grain in 
addition to roots and hay, and the condition of the cattle

shows it. I have noticed a wonderful improvement in the 
condition of the cattle on the island since I made my first 
visit, in 1907, for at that time there were really very few far- 
mers who gave their cattle good care, while now poor care 
is the exception. 

There has also been a marked improvement in the last 
few years on Alderney, and the reason is that, previous to 
1910, they had no market for their cattle, except an occasional 
demand from England or Guernsey, when the Guernsey far- 
mers paid not more than half the price that the American im- 
porters paid them for the same animals. 

One might easily keep writing about this island until a 
whole book were written, and there would still remain many 
things that would be of interest to any reader, and especially 
to one who has a love for the Guernsey cow. The place will 
never cease to have charm, either in story or in reality, and 
I hope that many of those who read this book and who have 
not seen for themselves will have an opportunity to visit this 
enchanting island. 



CHAPTER II 

The Origin of the Guernsey Cow 

It must be confessed that the origin of Guernsey cattle 
is lost in mystery. The common statement is that they are 
a development from a cross between the large red cattle of 
Normandy and the small red cattle of Brittany. I have been 
able to find little direct proof to substantiate such a claim. 
While searching for evidence on this point, I found that the 
subject had been one of special investigation by the monks 
in charge of the Les Vauxbelets Agricultural College, Guern- 
sey. Their theory seems to be the most probable of all that 
I found, and I present it here in the words of B. J. Ananias, 
professor of agriculture in that school. If there is any founda- 
tion of fact at all in this theory of the origin of the Guernsey. 
I think it is as stated in his letter. He writes as follows : 

"Though the origin of the Guernsey cow be lost for want of 
definite historical records, inferences from the known history of the 
people and from analogies of qualities and habits of the cattle in 
question permit the observer and student to draw conclusions which 
seem to point out the very breed that have, in days of yore, contributed 
to the shaping and molding of the excellent modern Guernsey. 

"1. — One is prompted, by study and comparisons, to say that the 
most prominent ancestor of the Guernsey cow is the breed, not yet 
extinct, called 'Froment du Leon,' in Brittany, France. This 'Froment 
du Leon,' as to the size of frame, is a very small breed, much smaller 
than the present Guernsey, but possessing the same markings, quite 
distinct on the animal; namely, red and white, fawn and white, etc. 
It is active, gaudy, with bright eyes, and is quiet at milkings. It is 
in truth a charming little gem. 

"One of the reasons of its smallness may be ascribed to the 
country where it is bred and lives; there the grass is scanty and short, 
and the animal has to work hard to pick up a full feed. Another 
reason is the neglect with which the young stock is raised, the little 
care taken of it by the breeder even unto this day, except a few well- 
to-do gentlemen who lately have taken steps to improve it by severe 
selection, better housing, and, above all, better feeding. 

"Though the 'Froment du Leon' animal be small, it gives a good 
flow of milk proportionate to the bulk of the beast. In full milk it 
produces up to 30 pounds daily of rich, yellow milk, from which butter 
of the finest quality is made. 

"Hence by close analogy this cow seems to be the leading origin- 
ator of our modern Guernsey. 

"2. — -The second source from which the Guernsey has been formed 
was the introduction of Norman blood of the brindle variety of cattle, 
which is yet to be found in the rich butter district of Tsigny, re- 
nowned as producing the best French butter. This Norman brindle 
breed is much heavier than either our modern Guernsey or the old 



32 The Guernsey Breed 

'Froment du Leon,' and gives a good supply of rich milk, often from 
60 to 70 pounds daily in its own native land. 

"This second ancestor of the Guernsey is made obvious by the 
brindle cattle which, by atavism or reversion, often appear in the 
Guernsey breed, and also by the black-nosed cows which often are 
met with in the island. These brindle markings and the black nose 
come, no doubt, from the Norman brindle. Besides, only a few years 
back brindle cattle were quite common in the island and had a very 
good name as milkers. 

"By selection, since foreign cattle are no more admitted in the 
island, the brindle marks have almost disappeared, or have a great 
tendency to do so, as has also the black nose. 

"Now, the crossing of the two breeds, the small 'Froment du 
Leon' and the bulky Norman brindle, has given the medium-size cow 
of Guernsey, in which there seems to be more blood of the first 
than of the other. 

Introduction of the Breeds into the Island of Guernsey. 

"3. — ^Biit when were animals of this breed taken to Guernsey, 
where resulted the cross? This is the very point on which no record 
is to be found, yet no stone has been left unturned in the effort to 
discover some facts of the introduction and crossing. Consequently, 
the observer and student are left to themselves in a labyrinth of con- 
jecture, from which they must find a way out by their own re- 
searches, and draw their own conclusions, at least until some one 
is fortunate enough to discover something upon which he can build 
a sure and undeniable proof of the date of the foundation of the 
excellent and unsurpassed Guernsey breed, the producer of the richest 
and best butter in the world. 

"According to the Norman chronicles, the Duke of Normandy 
sent some monks of 'Mont St. IMichel' to found a new abbey in 
Guernsey, which new abbey took the name of 'St. Michel du Val.' 
It was about the year 960. Some years after, Duke William of 
Normandy gave the monks new lands in the island on the condition 
that they would till the soil, teach the art of agriculture to the natives, 
and defend them against the possible encroachments of sea rovers. 
The extent of their lands included the four parishes known today as 
'Vale,' 'Catel,' 'St. Saviour's,' and 'St. Peter in the Woods.' To culti- 
vate so much land efficiently they had to import animals from the 
continent as draught beasts and also to supply products directly 
for their living, their diet consisting mainly of milk, butter and cheese. 
It is very probable that there were no cattle, or only a few head, 
as the natives were few in number and very poor, many having been 
slaughtered or driven into slavery in the previous centuries, and 
that for resisting sea pirates. 

"Now, nearly all the founders of the abbey 'St. Michel du Val' 
were Bretons, and it is, therefore, most natural they should import 
cattle from their own country. Besides, they were the only body able 
then to import animals to the island, the natives being too poor and 
having no taste for breeding, as they were all fishermen. 

"Some years afterward, about 1061, other monks came from 
Cherbourg. They established two new abbeys, one on Alderney and 
one at 'Blancheland,' in Guernsey. These new colonists after settling 
brought over Norman cattle of the brindle variety, for these settlers 
were Normans. The cattle they brought over were in the course of 



The Guernsey Breed 33 

time crossed with the 'Froment du Leon' already introduced. It took 
many years for the two bloods to fuse together and thereby form oitr 
modern Guernsey. Yet good results crowned the efforts of the 
breeders. The bulky Norman brindle gave stuff to the offspring, and 
the 'Froment du Leon' gave lightness to the grade, which has in 
the course of years became the beautiful Guernsey. 

"Such would be the origin of the Guernsey cow, and, in the 
absence of any documents to the contrary, this version seems to be 
the only probable one, considering the state of the island at such a 
period in the 10th and 11th centuries. 

"The likelihood of a fusion of Ayrshire blood does not appear 
quite satisfactory, because, though the Ayrshire be somewhat of the 
same type as the Guernsey, the milk it produces is far inferior in 
quality to that of our breeds; and, if any crossing had taken place, 
the Guernsey would not today possess the quality of richness of milk 
in so marked a degree. 

"Of course, if we consider the different breeds and inquire into 
their origin, we find much analogy between the Ayrshire, the Welsh, 
the Kerry, and the Breton breeds, and one is inclined to infer that 
at one time these four breeds were all developed from the one breed 
likely to have been dispersed when the Angles made the conquest 
and settled in England, driving the native Kelts to Wales, to Armorica, 
as Brittany was then called, and to Ireland. But this took place long 
before the 10th century. The differences of climate, soil, pasture, 
treatment, and other causes have wrought such changes in the off- 
spring that new breeds have thereby become established, differing in 
color, milking qualities, size and other points that characterize a 
breed. 

"Therefore, in conclusion, it is fair to admit that only the 'Fro- 
ment du Leon' and the bulky Norman brindle are the real and main 
originators of our modern Guernsey cow." 

The following quotations from the book, "Annals of 
Some of tjie British Norman Isles Constituting the Bailiwick 
of Guernsey," by John Jacob, published in 1830, makes it 
evident that as early as that date Guernsey was noted in 
England for its cows. On page 36, under the heading "Agri- 
culture of Alderney," he says : 

"With respect to agriculture and horticulture, we find that Devon- 
shire and Herefordshire are celebrated for their fine cattle and excel- 
lent cider. Kent, for corn, drill husbandry, and hops. Romney Marsh, 
sheep and fruits, particularly cherries and filberts. Norfolk, for tur- 
nip and barley culture. Cheshire, for cheese. Surrey, for Farnham 
hops. Sussex, for fine cattle and Southdown sheep. Leicestershire, 
for large sheep and long wool, while Portland Isle is known far and 
near from its small, highly flavored mutton, and short wool. Thus 
it is with the Island of Guernsey, which has long been known for 
its excellent culture of parsnips, as well as for cows, fruits and vege- 
tables, particularly Chaumontel pears, figs, etc., and broccoli; for 
cider, for Guernsey lilies and other flowers. 

"The same may be said of Alderney, with respect to its cows, 
which, for more than half a century, have been sought for by persons 
in all parts of England on account of the richness and produce of 



34 The Guernsey Breed 

their excellent cream and butter. I was told by a gentleman of 
Alderney that though their cows are much smaller, and require less 
food than those of Guernsey, yet their produce in cream and butter 
is as great. This may, however, be disputed by the Guernsey gentle- 
men, as I could not learn that any fair experiment had been made 
for the purpose of ascertaining the truth." 

In a footnote Jacob says : 

"Mr. Sandford, the Jurat, said that Gen. Bayly, when governor 
of Guernsey, taking a fancy to one of his cows, wished to send her 
to His Majesty. Mr. Sandford consented, upon the condition that the 
governor should send him one of the best Guernsey sort. He, therefore, 
has had both sorts on trial, and he told the writer that he had found 
the Alderney sort to give as much, if not more, butter than the 
Guernsey cow. Mr. Sandford also remarked that the Guernsey cows 
became dry before calving long before the Alderney; at least his 
did, which, he said, was nearly two months dry; whereas the Alderney 
cow might be milked, if well fed, almost to the last week before 
calving." 

He also says : 

"All these islands agree, however, in tethering their cattle in 
the enclosures, let the latter be ever so small, and in milking their 
cows three times each day; although some exceptions to this rule 
may be seen, for the Barrack-master, William Hanmer, Esq., whose 
two cows are among the best of the island, (Alderney). had his 
milked only twice a day. The two cows gave 17 quarts of milk at 
each milking; these were not tethered but were changed every night 
and morning into two different enclosures, while, on the contrary, 
perhaps the two handsomest cows (one of which had gained the 
governor's prize) belonging to W. J. Sandford. Esq., produced (he 
said) each 10 pounds of Initter of 18 ounces to the pound; these were 
staked out, and milked three times a day. Major Martin also in- 
formed me that he sold to the governor some time ago, -one of his 
cows, which produced 14 pounds of butter per week. I saw this 
cow, but could not praise it for its beauty. I could only say. 'Hand- 
some is that handsome does.' The major also said that one of his 
cows, as well as the cow of Mr. Sandford's. graced His Majesty's 
Park at Windsor. It may be remarked that the general stock of 
cows and young cattle appeared not to have been well fed." 

On page 90, regarding the cattle of the Island of Sark. 
Jacob says : 

"Their horned cattle are rather larger than the Alderney sort, 
but they are not handsome; neither are their cows particularly famous 
for milk, or butter: a fat ox has been known to reach 60 score, or 
1,200 pounds, but the average weight may be said to be about 700 
pounds; these are also killed in Guernsey. Their horses are neither 
handsome nor large, but they are hard workers." 

On page 167. discussing the cattle on the Island of 
Guernsey, the author continues : 

"The remarks made on this subject, under the article 'Agriculture 
in Alderney,' where the comparison is made between the cows of 



The Guernsey Breed 35 

that island and Guernsey, will, in some measure, preclude the neces- 
sity of entering so largely here upon this head. Both oxen and cows 
are much superior in size to those of either Jersey, Alderney, or 
Sark. The ox, of the largest kind, fattened chiefly upon parsnips and 
hay, with grass in the summer, has been known to have attained the 
weight of 1,500 pounds, or 75 score, Guernsey weight, as appears 
from the evidence of the clerk of the market of St. Peter Port, where 
the animals have been slaughtered and weighed. Quayle says, page 
280, 'tliose of 1,200 pounds, or 60 score, appeared not unfrecjuently; 
in general, they are line animals, and commonly worked in the shafts, 
sometimes singly, sometimes double, with one or more horses before 
them. They were broken in early, well attended to, very powerful, 
very docile draft cattle, and used both for carting and ploughing.' 

"The Guernsey cows are infinitely larger, taller, and generally 
of rather a darker color, than those which usually sell in England 
under that name: These, says Jeremie (page 190) come from Jersey, 
and may be had much cheaper; the Jersey ox seldom or never weigh- 
ing above 1,100 pounds, or 55 score. Quayle observes that the ques- 
tion of preference is stoutly contested by both islands. Jeremie, who 
is a Guernsey man, contends: 'If price be considered here, as on 
other occasions, the criterion of value, we have decidedly the ad- 
vantage; the general average being in favor of the Guernsey farmer 
by two or three pounds sterling the head.' This argument, prima 
facie, may appear to be conclusive; but it does not follow that a 
large cow will be more profitable to the dairyman than a smaller 
sort, and which may not be so handsome, but which costs less, re- 
quires less food, and perhaps may produce as much butter or cheese 
as the larger one. Billingsley's Agricultural Survey of Somersetshire 
will explain this: 'The cows of this district being intended chiefly for 
cheesemaking, the profit arising is in proportion to the quantity and 
the quality of the milk: size, therefore, is not attended to; but prin- 
cipal regard is paid to the breed whence she sprung.' I may here 
add that upon my estate in Wales, I had, among many others, an 
Irish cow, which did not cost above one-third as much as a large 
Herefordshire or true Glamorganshire; yet this small and ugly cow 
gave at least a third more milk than any one of the others. Sir 
John Sinclair, in his Code of Agriculture, page 84, says: 'Small cows, 
of the true dairy breeds, give proportionably more milk than larger 
ones.' It is, therefore, most probably the difference in the size of 
the animal which may cause it to bring a higher price than either 
the Jersey or Alderney cow, and not the intrinsic merit of the animal 
itself, for the purpose of the dairy only. Mr. Jeremie himself says 
(page 191) 'that a Jersey cow will probably produce the same quan- 
tity of milk, but it will be much inferior in richness; and, therefore, 
Guernsey butter has invariably borne the palm.' By oflfering the 
above sentiments I by no means wish to disparage the Guernsey 
cows, for they are most excellent; neither do I desire to enter into 
the contest, or to give an opinion which animal is best for exporta- 
tion to England. This must depend on the taste of the English. If 
a gentleman or a dairvman prefer a fine, handsome, and large cow 
to a smaller one, he will come to Guernsey for it; if he should choose 
a smaller sort he will go to Jersey or Alderney. Good Guernsey 
cows sell now from £14 to £15 each; but the beauty and quality of 
the animal often make a difference of some pounds in the price. A 



36 The Guernsey Breed 

cow is judged by the mellow feeling of the hide; by the deep, yellow 
circle round the eyes; the tip of the tail, and the inside of the ears 
should also be yellow. The states of the island allow the agricultural 
society £60 per annum to be bestowed in premiums for improve- 
ment of their cattle. 

"Mr. Jeremie is certainly very right when he says: 'The fattest 
cows are seldom the best milchers,' for this is invariably the case; 
'and the best milchers will not always produce the largest quantity 
of butter.' 'A gentleman,' adds the same author, 'mentioned an in- 
stance of one of his cows furnishing 18 quarts of milk each day; 
another gave only 12 quarts, and yet they both produced the same 
tiuantity of butter, viz., one pound and a half a day.' Instances can 
be well substantiated of cows giving 15 pounds of butter per week; 
one, says he, belonging to a friend of mine, calved in the month of 
March; he kept the calf nine days, sold it then for 18 shillings; in 
the course of two months from the day of her calving, besides feeding 
the calf and 60 quarts of milk, she gave 100 pounds of butter. But 
the general quantity of 'milk and butter, including young and old 
cows, and in summer and in winter, is rather more than 365 pounds 
in the year, being equal to one pound of butter, or eight quarts of 
milk, the supposed general average in the 24 hours.' Three vergees 
and a half (about one acre and three-fourths, English) of good 
ground, are considered sufificient for each cow. In Somersetshire, 
Bdllingsley says (page 144), 'from three to four acres of land will 
keep a cow throughout the year.' It may be asked: Does this dif- 
ference arise from the superiority of climate, the excellency or dif- 
ference in the cattle, or from the mode of management in Guernsey; 
namely, 'that of the cows being staked by the horns, by means of 
an iron or wooden stake attached to a halter about 12 feet in length? 
[Rather a long halter. — ^^C. L. H.] In this manner it is removed 
four or five times a day, and allowed a fresh range from two to five 
feet each time, which causes them to eat the grass off remarkably 
clean.' This, together with being constantly led to and from water, 
is the cause of their being very docile. The cows here are in- 
variably milked three times a day in their flush. In order that the 
reader maj'^ be informed of the true number of the different sorts of 
horned cattle, which have been exported from the three islands of 
Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, for the past six years, the following 
export table, has been procured by a friend, upon the authority of 
which the public may rely. 

"Subjoined is a summary of the table of cattle exported from the 
different islands: 

Bulls Cows 

Total export from Jersey, 1822 to 1828 132 8,029 

Yearly average 22 1,337 

Total export from Guernsey, 1822 to 1828 41 2,132 

Yearly average 7 355 

Total export from Alderney, 1822 to 1828 11 414 

Yearly average 2 69 

"In the various parts of England the old-fashioned upright churn 
is still made use of; in other parts the barrel churn is the only one 
used; while in some places the veritable patent churn has been 
adopted. In Somersetshire the common mode is to use no machine 
at all; the cream alone is put into a deep earthen vessel, or crock, 



The Guernsey Breed Z7 

and with the hand they turn it about till the butter comes; this plan 
generally brings it sooner than any other; sometimes they scald the 
milk in the first instance, then, taking ofif the clotted cream, it is 
thus churned into butter. In Devonshire the milk is always so scalded 
I)efore it is churned, and the Devonshire butter may vie with any 
in Great Britain. The churn generally used in Guernsey is the up- 
right, old-fashioned one; and here they churn the milk with the cream, 
and generally on the third day; it is commonly put into the churn 
over night, and when it becomes curdled it is churned, and, in con- 
sequence of the acidity of the milk, the butter comes quicker, and 
perhaps cannot be excelled in any part of the world. * * * It may be 
observed here that no cheese is made in Guernsey. Before we take 
leave of the subject of cattle, I would remark that the manner of 
weighing the slaughtered cattle at the market is not by the carcass or 
quarters of beef, as in England, but with the whole loose fat, skin, 
and head. An ox, not long since thus weighed, produced a total of 
1,601 pounds, or 80 score; but the loose fat and skin weighed 300 
pounds, or IS score; the neat carcass, therefore, produced 65 score, 
which is certainly a large ox. Great attention is paid, by the con- 
stituted authorities of this island, to the improvement of the breed 
of cattle, not only by giving small premiums, as before mentioned, 
but also by enacting laws to prevent the possibility of their becoming 
degenerated. An Englishman might perhaps be led to imagine that 
it is contrary to the true spirit of liberty not to be able to choose 
the sort he may like best; but when it is considered that the honor 
of the island is at stake, and that, were a free intercourse to take 
place with France, French cows would in great numbers be brought 
into the island, and exported to England under the name of Guernsey 
cows, when they were only French ones; by which means the present 
lucrative trade of Guernsey cows would be soon abolished, the con- 
stituted authorities have, therefore, acted most judiciously in enacting 
the following law, which I shall here translate for the benefit of the 
English reader: 

" 'Ordinance of the 17th February, 1824, Before Daniel De Lisle Brock, 
Esq., Present, Etc. — At the Royal Court. 

" 'Upon information given to the court, that there had been 
introduced into this island heifers from France, whose age and 
condition render them unfit to be butchered within four months, 
fixed by law — other circumstances also having given reason to believe 
that the intention is either to keep them for cows, and by that means 
to degenerate the breed, which the inhabitants of this island have 
more and more endeavored to improve; or else for the purpose of 
fraudulently exporting the same into England, which in either case 
would prove a fatal blow to that branch of industry'; namely, ex- 
porting our cows to England — upon hearing the conclusion of the at- 
torney-general, the court has ordered that, provisionally, and until 
necessary, steps are taken to preclude all sorts of French cows from 
being imported into this island from France, it is hereby forbidden, 
after the 10th of March next, to any person to import from France, 
or elsewhere, any heifer, of what kind soever it may be, under penalty 
of confiscation of the same, and a fine at discretion of justice, not 
exceeding £10 sterling per heifer so brought into the island; as 
well to be paid by the master of the vessel bringing the same, as

by the owner of the heifer so brought, or, in default, thereof, by 
person in possession of the same. And all masters of vessels, or 
boats, bringing cattle from France shall be bound to render an ac- 
count thereof, within 24 hours after their arrival, to the constable 
where the cattle are so landed, as well as to furnish a list of those 
who are the proprietors, as well as of those to whom the respective 
cattle are consigned, under a penalty of a fine, at the discretion of 
justice, not exceeding £5 sterling. And the constables are hereby 
ordered to keep a register of the cattle so landed in their respective 
parishes; and all the fines shall be applied, one-fourth to his Majesty, 
one-fourth to the poor, and half to the informer.

" 'Depute Grefifier du Roi.' " 

In Youatt's book, "Cattle, Their Breed, Management, 
and Diseases," published in 1834, on page 266, under the head- 
ing "Foreign Breeds of Cattle," we read as follows : 

"First among them — and a regular importation of which is kept 
up — we have the Normandy, or Alderney cattle. The Normandy cattle 
are imported from the French continent, and are larger and have a 
superior tendency to fatten; and others are from the islands on the 
French -coast; but all of them, whether from the continent or the 
islands, pass under the common name of Alderneys. 

"Except in Hampshire, they are found only in gentlemen's parks 
and pleasure-grounds, and they maintain their occupancy there partly 
on account of the richness of their milk, and the great quantity of 
butter which it yields, but more from the diminutive size of the 
animals. Their real ugliness is passed over on these accounts; and 
it is thought fashionable that the view from the breakfast or drawing 
room of the house should present an Alderney cow or two grazing 
at a little distance. 

"John Lawrence describes them as 'light red, yellow, dun or 
fawn-coloured; short, wild-horned, deer-necked, thin and small-boned, 
irregularly but often very awkwardly shaped.' 

"Mr. Parkinson, who seems to have a determined prejudice 
against them, says that 'their size is small, and they are of as bad a 
form as can possibly be described; the bellies of many of them are four- 
fifths of their weight; the neck is very thin and hollow; the shoulder 
stands up, and is the highest part; they are hollow and narrow be- 
hind the shoulders; the chine is nearly without flesh; the bucks are 
narrow and sharp at the ends; the rump is short, and they are narrow 
and light in the brisket.' This is about as bad a form as can pos- 
sibly be described, and the picture is very little exaggerated, when 
the animal is analyzed point by point; yet all these defects are so 
put together as to make a not unpleasing whole. 

"The Alderney, considering its voracious appetite — for it devours 
almost as much as a Shorthorn — yields very little milk. That milk, 
however, is of an e.xtraordinarily excellent quality and gives mor*' 
butter than can be obtained from the milk of any other cow. Of 
this no one can doubt who has possessed any Alderney cows. Some 
writers on agricultural subjects have, however, denied it. The milk 
of the Alderney cow fits her for the situation in which she is usually 
placed, and where the excellence of the article is regarded, and not 
the expense: but it is not rich enough, yielding the small quantity 



The Guernsey Breed 39 

that she does, to pay for what she costs. On the coast of Hampshire 
there is great facility in obtaining the Alderney cattle, and they are 
great favourites there. VVe must refer our readers to the 'Description 
of Hampshire,' page 215, for the manner in which they have estab- 
lished themselves in that part of the country, and the various ways 
in which other breeds have been crossed by them. 

"One excellence, it must be acknowledged, that the Alderneys 
possess: when they are dried, they fatten with a rapidity that would 
be scarcely thought possible from their gaunt appearance, and their 
want of almost every grazing point, while living. The Duke of Bed- 
ford exhibited a French ox at the Smithfield cattle show, in 1802, 
whose four quarters weighed 95 stone 3 pounds and the fat 17 stones 
3 pounds, Smithfield weight." 

On page 215, under "Cattle in Hampshire," Youatt says: 

"Hither also the Longhorns penetrated, and were the prevailing 
breed, but they may be said to have perfectly disappeared. They 
have given way to the Devons, and indeed to breeds of every sort, 
and, more particularly near the coast, to the Alderney, or smaller 
breed of Norman cows. About Southampton, the Alderney is the 
prevalent breed. * * * There are many .facilities for obtaining her 
from the contiguous islands of Guernsey and Jersey. In this part of 
the county the Alderney has been crossed with the forest breed, and 
also with the Suffolk. The forester has improved, and the Norman 
deteriorated in consequence of the first cross, and the second has 
been attended with doubtful success. Next to the Alderneys, the 
Suffolks are most in favour on the coast of Hampshire. 

"Mr. Gawler, in his 'Report of a North Hampshire Farm' (Far- 
mer's Series, No. VII., page 15), states that 'the stock in general 
best adapted to this soil are the Alderney, and the smaller race of 
Norman cows. The Devonshire and larger breeds require richer 
pasture; and, although they may be kept in condition, the milk they 
give is by no means in proportion to the bulk of food they consume. 
Mr. Gawler's dairy stock was in the proportion of one cow of the 
Devonshire breed to three of the Alderney or Norman, and the 
milk was mixed on the presumption that, being thus diluted, it pro- 
duced better butter, and a larger quantity of it.' 

"Sir Richard Simeon has favoured us with a description of the 
cattle in the Isle of Wight. They are a small mixed kind without 
any of those peculiarities which would mark them as distinct breeds. 
Scarcely any oxen are bred from them. Cow calves are saved for 
the purpose of keeping up the dairy, invariably from the best milkers, 
and not with any view to their aptitude to fatten. 

"The dairy stock has been occasionally mixed with the Guernseys 
or Alderney cattle, and with success so far as the quantity and 
quality of milk go. Some attempts have been made to introduce 
the Shorthorns, and in some instances the cattle of the island have 
been improved in size and appearance; but, looking to the general 
capabilities of the island for the maintenance of large stock, and 
fitting them for the purpose of the butcher, it may be doubtful whether 
the smaller and rougher kind of cattle may not be a safer description 
of stock, and likely to produce a better result to the farmer. The 
Alderney is a favorite breed. A cross between the Devon has pro- 
duced some very good cows here, well adapted for the dairy, and 
not unprofitable for the butcher. 



40 The Guernsey Breed 

"The value of the Isle of Wight cattle depends almost exclusively 
upon their being good milkers: for the purpose of the butcher, many 
of them are of little value, on account of the generally received 
opinion, that a cow which has an aptitude to fatten is a bad_ milker. 
The farmers rarely breed from a cow which has good points for 
grazing." 

It will be noted that in both of these quotations the 
cattle from the Channel Islands are classed with the cattle 
of the Norman coast and are spoken of as Norman. 

In another history of the island, published in 1830, the 
only reference to the cattle of the islands is this : "The cattle 
of the islands are Normans and are noted for their rich yel- 
low milk." 

In a little guide to the islands, published in 1840 and 
called "The Privileged Islands," on page 14, the writer makes 
mention of the cattle on the Island of Alderney as follows : 

"The Alderney cow, so famed all over the United Kingdom. I 
have been told in the other islands that in this island alone I should 
find the true breed, black and white: but I did not find that the 
Alderney people adopt this criterion of purity of breed; red and 
white, and brown and white I found equally common; and the 
best specimens I saw were of a white and reddish chocolate colour. 
The natives look more to the short, curved horns and prominent, 
sparkling eyes than to the colour. I found it, however, generally 
admitted that there is but very little distinction between the Alderney 
cow and the best specimens of the Jersey and Guernsey." 

This bare mention is all the author gives of the cattle of 
the Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. 

The following is from the Guernsey and Jersey Magazine, 
Vol. v., 1831, page 269, republished from Penny Magazine, 
September 2, 1837, on "Guernsey, Sark, Herm, and Jethou." 

"Alderney has given name to the beautiful little cattle of the 
Channel Islands, and of which their natives are so proud. Special 
laws, both in Jersey and Guernsey, protect the purity of the breed. 
The importation of foreign cattle is strictly prohibited under heavy 
penalties; and there is considerable rivalry between Guernsey and 
Jersey as to which produces the best and purest specimen of the 
Alderney cow. The greater number of Alderney cows known in 
England are exported from Jersey; but a Guernsey farmer would 
not admit a Jersey cow upon his grounds. 

"The prevailing opinion seems to be that the Guernsey breed is 
really better than the Jersey: and the Guernsey butter, which js 
better than that of Jersey (both are excellent) is appealed to in 
support of the opinion. Yet, as is very natural, the people of Alderney 
affirm that their cow can only be produced, in all of its handsomeness 
of figure and excellence of quality, on its own native island, and that 
the Guernsey and Jersey are deteriorations. Some judges are of this 
opinion; and it is stated that the Alderney cow can only be dis- 



The Guernsey Breed 41 

tinguished from those of the neighboring island by being remarkably 
small and straight of back, with prominent sparkling eyes." 

Ouayle, writing- in 1812, states: 

"The treasure highest in a Jerse3'man's estimation is his cow. 
She seems to be a constant object of his thoughts and attention, and 
that attention she certainly deserves. In the summer she is staked 
to the ground, but her position is shifted five or six times a day. 
In winter she is warmly housed and fed with the precious parsnip. 
When she calves she is regaled with toast and cider, the nectar of 
the island, to which powdered ginger is added." 

Regarding the origin, he says : 

"The breed was derived from the contiguous continential coast, 
yet it is not known that in any part the same breed is preserved in 
equal purity." 

Regarding the color, Onayle writes : 

"The colour here is commonly red or white, occasionally what 
is called cream coloured, or that colour mixed with white. Soine- 
times they are black or black and white like the northwest high- 
landers are black, with a dingy, brown-red ridge on the back and 
about the nostrils of the same colour.' They have all a good pile, 
generally thin-skinned, and fatten soon. If in any point they are 
universally deficient it is in being narrow in the haunch." 

Writing in 1834, H. D. Ingiis is quoted by Mr. Thornton 
as having stated that greater attention had been bestowed on 
the cattle of Guernsey than of Jersey, and his notions of the 
Alderney were disappointing. "I found it, however," he said, 
"everywhere admitted that there is little distinction between 
the Alderney and best specimens of Jersey cattle. The Guern- 
sey cow, though of the same breed, is a large animal." 

Mr. Thornton, in his article in the Royal Agricultural 
Journal, Vol. 17, published in 1881, gives the following par- 
ticulars regarding first impressions of the Jersey breed in Eng- 
land : 

"Having thus endeavored to show the manner by which the 
island breeders improved their native cattle, it is necessary to show 
the progress which the breed has made in this country during the 
present century. As far back as 1794 an experiment was tried in 
Kent between a large, home-bred cow, doubtless a Suffolk, eight 
years old, and an Alderney, two years old. 

"The cow in seven days gave 35 gallons of milk, which made 
lOj/ pounds of butter; the Alderney, 14 sallons, which made 6^^ 
pounds, or more than double the amount of ounces of butter to the 
gallon of milk. In writing the history of the Jersey cow in this 
country, it is difificult to distinguish between the Jersey and the 
Guernsey, and even the Brittany; for all the Channel Islands cattle 
bore the common name of Alderney, an island tliat supplies a very 
small number (scarcely 100 annually) and whose breed now, by the 
use of Guernsey bulls, has become larger and coarser than the fine, 
deer-like Jersey. 



42 The Guernsey Breed 

"The difference, too, between the Jersey and the Guernsey has 
become very much more marked of late years, both in size and colour, 
and particularly of the head, horns, and nose. The Jersey is the 
smaller animal, finer in its limbs, neater in its frame, and more 
thoroughbred looking in its appearance. The eye is bright, black, 
often with a white rim, and the muzzle intensely black, also with a 
light-coloured rim round it. This is one of the most striking dif- 
ferences between the Jersey and Guernsey, the latter having usually 
a flesh-coloured or stained nose, and a lightish yellow and white body, 
being also larger of stature and coarser of limb. The yield of milk, 
too, is larger in the Guernsey, yet there is little, if any, difference m 
the yield of butter; indeed, some contend that the Jersey will yield 
more butter and is a smaller consumer of food. Be this as it may, 
there is no question as to the Guernsey giving the larger yield of 
milk; and when large yields are spoken of as coming from an Alderney 
cow, it is more often found to be from a Guernsey than a Jersey. 
Guernsey cows have occasionally been taken into Jersey; but crosses 
between the breeds have not been successful; the yellow colour and 
pink nose usually crop up in the offspring, which retains a coarseness 
at once detected and rejected by the island judges." 

The following notes, taken from Vol. I of the Herd Reg- 
ister of the American Jersey Cattle Club, published in 1872, 
will be of interest : 

"The Alderney cow has been held in high repute as a producer 
of cream and butter ever since the days when Tabitha Bramble wrote, 
in 1771. to Mrs. Gwyllim, housekeeper at Brambleton Hall: 'I am 
astonished that Mr. Lewis should take upon him to give away Alder- 
ney without my privity and concurrants. * * * Alderney gave 
four gallons a day ever since the calf was sent to the market.' " 

In 1844 Col. Le Couteur, the Queen's Aide-de-Camp in 
Jersey, contributed to the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng- 
land an essay on "The Jersey, misnamed Alderney, Cow," 
which is here copied, nearly entire, from the Society's Journal, 
Vol. v., page 43. 

"The breed of cattle familiarly known throughout Great Britain 
as the Alderney, and correctly termed, in the article 'Cattle,' of the 
'Library of Useful Knowledge,' 'the crumpled horned,' was originally 
Norman, it is conceived, as cows very similar to them in form and 
color are to be seen in various parts of Normandy, and Brittany 
also; but the difference in their milking and creaming qualities is 
really astonishing, the Jersey cow producing nearly double the quan- 
tity of butter. 

"The race is miscalled 'Alderney' as far as Jersey is in question: 
for, about 70 years since, Mr. Dumaresq, of St. Peter's, afterwards 
the chief magistrate, sent some of the best Jersey cows to his father- 
in-law, the then proprietor of Alderney; so that the Jersey was, 
already at that period, an improved, and superior to the Alderne3% 
race. It has since been vastly amended in form, and generally so 
in various qualities, though the best of those recorded at that period 
gave as much milk and butter as the best may do now. 



The Guernsey Breed 43 

"Ten years have elapsed since the attempt was first made by fixed 
rules to improve the form and quality of the Jersey cow. A few 
gentlemen, presided over by the then lieutenant-governor, Major- 
General Thornton, selected two beautiful cows, with the best qual- 
ities, as models. One of these was held to be perfect in her barrel 
and fore-quarters, the other equally so in her hind-quarters. From 
these two the following points were laid down to be the rule for 
governing the judges in all the cattle shows of the Jersey Agricultural 
Society." 

The scale of points referred to will be found in Chapter 
III. 

A large part of Col. Le Couteur's report can be found in 
Vol. I of the herd book of the American Jersey Cattle Club. 

The following letter, received from Col. Le Couteur in 
response to enquiries by the American Jersey Cattle Club, will 
also be of interest : 

"Belle Vue, Jersey, Sept. 14, 1869. 

"Dear Sir: — I fear that my absence from Jersey will render this 
letter of no avail to you for the publication of your Jersey Herd 
liook, spoken of in your letter to me of the 30th of June, last. 

"I have only experience to add to anything I may have written 
in my essay on the Jersey cow in the Journal of the Royal Agricul- 
tural Society of England in 1844, which has reappeared in the Trans- 
actions of the New York State Agricultural Society of 1850. 

"Our farmers have not the singular variety of ideas as to the 
appearance and character of our breed which you describe to prevail 
among the members of j'our club. Our breed is believed to be a 
local pure breed, its original milking and butyraceous qualities having 
been improved, more than three-quarters of a century back, by care- 
fully crossing in the line: in that view, then, without much regard to 
beauty of form. Later, since the formation of our present society, 
of which I was the first honorary secretary in 1834, great attention 
has been constantly paid to combine beauty of form with butter- 
producing habits. 

"The outline history of our breed is this: In-the year 1789 the 
Jersey cow was already considered so good, so superior to any then 
known, I imagine, that an act of our local legislature (which for 
such ends is quite independent of the British Parliament) was passed, 
by which the importation into Jersey of cow, heifer, calf or bull was 
prohibited, under the penalty of 200 livres, with the forfeiture of 
boat and tackle, besides a fine of 50 livres to be imposed on every 
sailor on board who did not inform of the attempt at importation. 
Moreover, the animal was decreed to be immediately slaughtered, 
and its flesh given to the poor. Later laws are equally stringent; 
no foreign horned cattle are ever allowed to come to Jersey but 
as butcher's meat. 

"Guernsey cattle are not deemed foreign, but there are scarcely 
ever a dozen of that breed in our island. They are of larger bone 
and carcass, considered to be coarse, though famous milkers, re- 
quiring much more food than the Jersey. Our judges at our cattle 
shows have discarded both them and their progeny. 

"Those enterprising American farmers who have visited Jerse> 



44 The Guernsey Breed 

and have found a marked difference to exist between the cattle of 
the eastern district and those of the western district, being cursory 
visitors, may not have been aware of what I am to state. I believe 
the type to be the same. The difference in appearance is thus ac- 
counted for: The north and northwest coast of Jersey is high and 
precipitous, a bold syenite rock, rising 200 and more feet from the 
level of the sea. Its nearest shelter in a westerly or southwesterly 
direction is the island of Newfoundland, on the British-American 
shore. Southwest gales prevail here nine months out of the 12. 
While I am writing a hurricane from the southwest has burst over 
us and burned all the exposed trees like a flame; it has ruined scores 
of orchards and gardens, leveled many trees, leaving the pastures 
like damaged hay. Hence this elevated coast has usually a short, 
scant, rich, nutritious herbage, from being so frequently saturated 
with saline moisture. Thus the cattle on this side are small, fine- 
limbed, and hardy. 

"The southward half of Jersey may be called an inclined plane, 
gradually and beautifully slanting to the sea-shore, watered by in- 
numerable streams. A part of it is a rich alluvial soil and meadow 
land so sheltered and warmed as to produce fruit and vegetables a 
fortnight or three weeks sooner than in my neighborhood. The cattle 
of this district are, consequently, fed on a richer pasture. They are 
larger in carcass, some think handsomer, than those of the upland. 
I consider them to be more delicate. 

"The late Earl Spencer, and former president of the Royal Agri- 
cultural Society of England, an able and worthy contemporary of 
Bates, Booth and other noted Shorthorn breeders, had a fine little 
herd of Jerseys. When on a visit to him at Althorp, in 1839, he 
strongly advised me to recommend our farmers never to venture on 
a foreign cross, nor with Shortliorns or Devons; merely to cross the 
cows of the low, rich pastures with the hardy bulls of the exposed 
northern coasts, and vice versa. We had established a character 
in our cows for creaming and milking habits peculiar to our crumpled- 
horned race to hold to, by which means alone our breed might con- 
tinue as renowned in the next century as it has been in the present 
one. Many have held to that sound advice. 

"I shall be much honoured by receiving a copy of your Jersey 
Herd book, and shall, moreover, feel much gratified if what I have 
written shall prove interesting or useful to you. Believe me to be, 
"Very truly yours,

The following- extract, also taken from the American 
Jersey Cattle Chib Field Book, Vol. I, written by Dr. L. H. 
Twaddell, who visited the Channel Islands, in 1865, will be 
of interest : 

"Three thousand Jersey cows and heifers and about 1,200 Guern- 
seys are exported from the islands every year. 

"The Jersey cow is of a medium size. Her peculiar, deer-like 
aspect distinguishes her from the Guernsey. Her head is long and 
slender, the muzzle fine, and usually encircled with a lighter color; 
the nose is black, and the large, dreamy eyes encircled with a black 
band; occasionally the nose is of a buff color, when there is a cor- 



The Guernsey Breed 45 

responding buflf band around the eye; the horns are usually short, 
small at the base, tapering, and tipped with black. 

"The Jerseys are of all shades of color, from a pale yellow fawn, 
running through all tlie intermediate hues, even occasionally to a 
red, an intermixture of black or gray, known as French gray, and 
that merging into black with an amber-colored band along the back, 
the muzzle invariably shaded with a lighter color; and individuals 
are often seen black and white, or pure black, unrelieved by any 
other color. 

"A yellow brindle is sometimes seen, but this is by no means a 
favorite. 

"The bulls are slaughtered at three years old; the opinion pre- 
vails there that the oflfspring of young bulls have most vigor and 
stamina. 

"The Guernsey is a larger animal, coarser in the head and heavier 
in bone; the horns are longer and thicker at the base, not usually 
crumpled; the rump is more apt to assume that peculiar droop which 
seems a characteristic of the breed, and there is a want of that 
symmetry and neatness of form that mark the highly bred Jersey, 
but as a dairy cow she is fully her equal; for quality of milk and 
butter she cannot be excelled; the skin is of a splendid, rich, yellow 
hue, and the udder and teats are tinted with chrome. 

"The head of the Guernsey is larger, the muzzle broader, and 
the eye not so prominent as the Jersey; the nose is usually of a rich 
yellow or bufT; the eye banded with the same color. 

"The colors of the Guernsey are fawn, running through the 
various shades to a deep red, an amber brown and a peculiar yellow 
brindle, which is a favorite here. 

"Although larger than the Jersey, I do not think they fatten 
quite as kindly as the latter, which has the advantage of a smoother 
and more rotund form. 

"This thinness and want of condition may be owing in a great 
degree to the fact that the pasturage, is less luxuriant in Guernsey, 
and also that the Guernseymen are less solicitous about the figure 
and style of their animals, being satisfied if the animal is a per- 
former at the pail — where she seldom disappoints. 

"The cattle of the Island of Alderney (which is the third in size 
of the Channel group) have a want of uniformity, attributable to the 
fact that they are the offspring of stock brought from Jersey and 
Guernsey, crossed and re-crossed until all individuality as a breed is 
lost. 

"Some are neat and deer-like; others are larger and heavier, ap- 
proaching the Guernsey type. 

"The island being small and rocky, the pasturage scanty, very 
few cattle are bred, and, as a consequence, the breed does not re- 
ceive the care and attention that is given on the other islands. 

"It_ is as a dairy animal that the Channel Islands cow puts forth 
her claim for consideration." 

The following- quotation is from the same source: 

"The early importations of Jersey cattle into this country are 
most difficult to trace. The animals were then called Alderneys, and 
the same name was given to Guernsey cattle of which a goodly 
number were brought over, and they seem to have been inter-bred 
somewhat indiscriminately. 



46 



The Guernsey Breed 



"In September, 1840, three Alderney cows were purchased by 
the late Nicholas Biddle. They were imported from the Island of 
Guernsey and brought to the port of New York in the schooner 
Pilot, Captain Beleir. They turned out to be remarkably fine ani- 
mals. This stock crossed by later importations, is maintained in its 
purity at Andalusia, Bucks county, Pa., the country seat of Mr. Biddle, 
and still in possession of his family. 

"The earlier importations made by R. L. Colt, of Paterson, N. J., 
were of Guernsey animals, or at least there were Guernsey animals 
among them. About 15 years ago he became satisfied of the su- 
periority of the Jersey stock and disposed of his Guernseys and made 
fresh importations. It has been alleged that the importations made 
by Mr. Gushing, of Watertown, Mass., were in part Guernseys; but 
this has been authoritatively denied, and the Gushing herd has been 
proven to be of pure Jersey stock. The Guernsey animals in these 
earlier importations have been a source of great annoyance to the 
committee in passing upon animals offered for entry. In many in- 
stances fine animals, carefully bred, and believed by their owners

would again liken her to the Guernsey. 

to be pure Jersey have had to be rejected because remotely tracing 
to the Biddle or the earlier Gushing importations. Their rejection 
was, of course, no criticism on their quality." 

All of these quotations go to prove that the marked dif- 
ference between the Guernsey and Jersey of today is largely 
due to their improvement along somewhat different lines since

1870. It is very evident also that but slight attention was paid 
by the farmers of the islands to differences in the cattle from 
another of the islands. In searching for information that would 
throw light upon the time when a distinction began to be 
drawn between the two breeds I was reminded of the story 
told of an old woman who, when she heard some Daughters 
of the American Revolution talking about their pedigrees, said : 
"There's a wholfi lot of people who had better not study their 
pedigrees : they may find something that they do not want 
to know." But it is very evident that, while, as a matter of 
local pride, there was not an extensive admixture of the cattle 
from one island to the other, and, while there were laws pro- 
hibiting the importation of foreign cattle, the cattle of any 
one of the Channel Islands were not considered foreign on 
any of the other islands. 




lack and white cow on Alderney. 



I have found plenty of references to the taking of cattle 
from both Guernsey and Jersey to Alderney and from both 
Guernsey and Alderney to Jersey, and, while I do not find 
any direct reference to the taking of cattle from Jersey to 
Guernsey, it is very certain, from the color of many of the 
cattle on the Island of Guernsey, that there must have been 
an admixture of Jersey blood not many generations ago. As 



48 



The Guernsey Breed 



recent as 1913 I saw in Guernsey two registered cows, both 
daughters of the well known Fanny's Sequel, that were Jersey 
in type and were solid, dingy black with black noses and 
tails. Plenty of Jersey cows also show the Guernsey type of 
color so plainly that, even if no more positive evidence were 
available, no one- could reasonably doubt for a moment that 
there had been in comparatively recent years an exchange of 
cattle from one island to another and that, within a century, 
and probably within 60 or 70 years, the islanders themselves 
considered the cattle of the different islands one and the same 
breed. 

In 1871 there was held on the Island of Jersey a Chan- 
nel Islands Exposition, and a few cattle were taken over from 
Guernsey to Jersey for that show. P. Mahy, of the Landes 
du Marche, Vale, took over the bull Fair Lad 7, F. S., the 
bull that won the Prix Douglas at the Whitsuntide Show, 
Guernsey, that year. He was awarded first prize in the Guern- 
sey class at the exposition. Mr. Nicholle, a breeder of Jersey, 
was so impressed with the opportunity he saw to improve 
the cattle on that island that he tried to induce Mr. Mahy 
to leave Fair Lad on that island for two months, offering to 
keep the bull free of charge and to pay £1 per cow service 
fee. This Mr. Mahy refused to do. This statement is vouched

for by T. H. Mahy, a son of P. Mahy, who himself cared for 
the bull and showed him on Jersey at the exposition. 

T. H. Mahy is now a breeder of the well known Bel Air 
family. It is of interest here to note also that with the bull, 
Fair Lad, he showed the heifer. Queen of the Field, which he 
tells me was one of the first animals of the now well known 
Jessie family. 

I have been told many times that the present cattle of 
Normandy were very similar in color and form to the Jerseys, 
but on a visit in 1912 to the northern part of Normandy in 
the vicinity of Cherbourg I saw no cattle that in form or color 
looked like Guernseys. They were larger, coarser, and nearly 
all black or brown in color, with white heads. The accompany- 
ing illustrations are of typical cows as I saw them in that dis- 
trict, and of a herd tethered in the fields. 

There is a celebrated painting in the Tate Gallery, Lon- 
don, done in 1820 by the well known English animal painter, 
James Ward, 1769-1859, that is deserving of our study. The 
picture is called "Protection," and is now labeled "An Al- 
derney Bull, Cow and Calf." The bull is decidedly brindle 
and spotted with white, with a white, spotted face and black 
nose. The cow is yellow in color, one-half to two-thirds 
white, and a buff nose. The calf is white with quite a black, 
mottled nose. The cow has medium large teats. Both have

The Guernsey Breed 



medium, up-standing horns, and the bull is very heavy in 
the shoulders and light in the hind quarters. 

There are numerous other pictures in existence, 80 to 
125 years old, purporting to represent so-called Alderney 
cows, these show animals varying in color from light yellow 
through shades of fawn, brown, and brindle to black. This 
is additional proof that there was, only a few years ago, mucii 
less difference in the breeds of cattle on the several islands 
than writers have ordinarily led us to believe. We are re- 
minded, too, that cattle in a particular district will vary greatly 
in color in a few generations. 

There are several ])ictures in the National (jallery, Lon- 
don, by the Holland artist, Guyp, a celebrated artist of the 
15th century. Certain animals in several different pictures 
of his show a similarity that suggests they were all painted 
from a sketch he has made of a cow in the field. Several 
animals represented are fawn, or fawn and white, or brown 
and white. Their colors and form would indicate that they 
were similar to the cattle of the Channel Islands as seen in 
the earliest pictures and descriptions that we have of them. 
This means, if it means anything, that the cattle of Holland 
and the Channel Islands had probably a common origin not 
many centuries ago. 

The question of the origin of the breed is not nearly so 




Fascination 2d 4665, P. S. Dam of t\\ 



The Guernsey Breed 51 

interesting- and important as the question of the men who 
first conceived the idea of breeding and developing a strain 
of cattle to produce milk, cream and butter of a golden yellow 
color, which we find most highly emphasized in the Guernsey, 
and which appears to a more limited extent in the Jersey. 

. It is very evident from the scale of points to be given 
in Chapter III, that the yellow skin which denotes highly 
colored produce, was prized as early as 1850. Just when the 
islanders began to prize this trait and when particular meas- 
ures were used to preserve and improve it are unknown. 



CHAPTER III. 

Development of the Breed on the Island 
The Island Scale of Points 

The real development of the breed on the Island, as far 
as we have any history of it, dates from the passage of the 
laws against the importation of foreign cattle quoted in Chap- 
ter II. The figures giving the number of animals exported 
during different periods of time show that nearly a century 
ago the Guernsey farmer had a lucrative cattle trade* with 
England. As the English buyer demanded an animal with a 
more finished form, the records show that as early as 1830 a 
scale of points had already been drawn up with the end in 
view of making the breed more symmetrical. It was used as 
a basis of comparison for awarding the prizes at the various 
shows. 

The records also inform us that as early as 1830 the 
Guernsey farmers talked of a cow that would give 15 pounds 
of butter in a week; so it is evident that she was considered 
most from a dairy standpoint all through the years of her 
development, but, nevertheless, some attention was paid to 
the beef quality of the breed, especially of the bullocks. 

Jeremie, writing about 1828, says : "There are certain 
points of excellence which receive the reward. The following 
points are the standard by which the judges determine: 

Points 
"1. Pedigree as well of the bull as of the cow, yellow ears, tail, 

and good udder 7 

"2. General appearance, handsome color, cream, light red, or 

both mixed with white 3 

"3. Handsome head, well horned, and bright and prominent eye. . 4 

"4. Deep barrel-shaped body 3 

"5. Good hind quarter and straight back 2 

"6. Handsome legs and small bone 1 

"Total good, or points of excellence 20" 

In the report of the Royal Agricultural Society of Guern- 
sey, published in 1842, plans are given for the promotion of 
the agricultural and live stock interests of the island, by the 
following scales of points for the scoring of bulls and cows :

Two points will be deducted from those required by the scale 
for heifers, seeing that the milk veins are not so well pronounced'. 
Thus a heifer will be counted at 28 points. 

The following quotation from the Agricultural Survey 
of Jersey, No. 3, page 308, written by Col. Le Couteur and 
published between 1830 and 1840, is of interest as showing 
what was being done along the same lines in Jersey at this 
time: 

"Another most important benefit conferred on the island by the 
Agricultural and Horticultural Society has been the decided improve- 



54 The Guernsey Breed 

ment in the form of the cattle. The peculiar defect of the Jersey or 
Alderney breed', which is the same, or nearly so, Mr. Dumaresq of 
St. Peter Port, more than half a century since having sent some 
(A. D. 1780) handsome stock from Jersey to the then Governor of 
Alderney, his father-in-law, to improve the Alderney breed in the 
hind quarters, which are narrow and fall ofif from the straight line 
near the tail, or cat hammed; biit since the introduction of points, 
which I may be pardoned' for stating here, the defect has strikingly 
disappeared, and the beauty and value of the cattle proportionately 
increased. 

Scale of Points for Cows and Heifers. 

Points 
''1. Bred on male and female sides reputed' for producing rich 

and yellow butter 3 

"2. Head small, fine and tapering. Eye full and lively. Muzzle 
fine and encircled with white; horns polished, and little

the hock 3 

"6. Fore legs, straight and fine. Thighs, full and long, close

bones rather fine. Hoof, small. Hind legs not to cross in 

walking 2 

"7. Udder, full and well up behind. Teats, large and squarely 

placed wide apart. Milk veins large and swelling 4 

"Perfection for cows 26 

"Two points should be deducted from the number required for 
perfection for heifers as their udder and milk veins cannot be fully 
d'eveloped. A heifer shall be considered perfect at 25 points. 

"No prize should be awarded to cows and heifers having less 
than 21 points. 

'Three more points are recommended to be added for general 
appearance, size, and condition, which will j'ct increase the merits 
of the cows. The chief advantages in specifying points have been to 
make the farmers perceive what were the defects in their own cows, 
and to constitute most of them as good judges as the cattle dealers 
themselves." 

These early scales of points were doubtless revised from 
time to time. In 1882 the following scale for cows only was 
published in Vol. 1 of the herd book of the Royal Guernsey 
Agricultural Society: 

1. Registered pedigree 6 

2. Head rather long and' fine, with quiet and gentle expression. . 3 

3. Cheek small, throat clean 4

many years, for in Vol. 2, of the herd book, 1883, the follow-

The color of the nose in no way denotes intrinsic merit in the 
animal, nor does it denote impurity of breed. The 1)uff nose is fash- 
ionable in the show ring, but it is safe to say that this fashion has 
not been helpful to the Guernsey breed'. As in the past, it is well 
known that many of the brindles and dark cows have been among the 
very best animals. 




Cattle being loaded for exportation, Guernsey. 

From 1881 to 1886 there was an excellent demand for 
cattle to be brought to America, but following that there was 
a period of great depression on the islands, for, from the year 
1899 to 1903, only 800 pedigree cows were registered. In the 
introduction to Vol. XII. of the Herd Book published in 1903, 
the following is offered by way of explanation : 



The Guernsey Breed 



59 



"Cultivation under glass, and the bulb culture have developed 
exceedingly within the last few years, and these, with the produce 
industry, have considerably encroached on the land area of the island, 
already too limited. Consequently, it is not surprising that the stable 
has been neglected and' the breeding interest has suffered for a time. 
We say 'for a time' advisedly, for, as we have pointed out, there are 
hopeful signs of a sound and beneficial revival in the breeding inter- 
est. No doubt this is due in a measure also to the fact which ex- 
perience has taught, the comparative certainty in breeding against the 
always existing uncertainty of glass or market produce, as well as 
the uncertain fluctuations in market prices." 

li 




Churning. 

Since that time, however, the glass-hotise indtistry has in- 
creased from year to year, and at the same time there are 
more cattle on the island now than ever before. Commencing' 
with the year 1904, exportation to America began to increase 
and there has been a steady growth until the present, when 
from 600 to 1,000 animals are now exported each year. 

The cattle on the island are kept mostly in herds of from 
three to six cows, though at the present time two or three 



60 The Guernsey Breed 

breeders have each as many as 50 or 60 head, young and old, 
and H. M. Ozanne, of Lily vale, at one time had upward of 
100 head. 

The calves are taken from the cows when they are from 
a few hours to three or four days old, and are fed the new milk 
for two or three weeks. The fresh cows are nearly always 
milked three times a day and the calves are then fed three 
times a day. A few farmers have cream separators and thus 
have warm skimmed-milk to feed their calves. But most of 
them still follow the method that has evidently been in vogue 
for generations, of souring and churning the whole-milk. Then 
the calves are fed the butter-milk, which naturally is thinner 
than butter-milk from churned cream. 

The calves are early tethered out-of-doors, and it is to 
this out-of-door life that we must seemingly attribute the 
health and vigor of the island cattle. 

The butter is nearly all made into small, round prints 
and sold to private customers in St. Peter Port. It is also 
commonly on display in the public market, where it is usually 
offered for sale in prints of from one to one and one-half 
pounds, placed in the center of a large cabbage leaf. It was 
the butter thus displayed in the markets that first attracted 
the attention of visitors from England and America to the 
island's breed of cows. For some reason a marked difference 
may be noticed in the color of the butter from different herds 
of the island. Some farmers' wives always bring very yellow 
butter to market, while others offer a much paler product. 
Many who do not realize how dense the population of the 
island is often ask where the islanders market their butter, 
thinking that a large surplus must be shipped away. As a 
matter of fact, not nearly enough is produced for home con- 
sumption, for one may see displayed in the market windows 
butter from Jersey, France, England and Denmark, and not 
butter only but large quantities of margarine as well. The 
prevailing price of Guernsey butter is 50c per pound, while 
the imported butter sells for 5 or 10c less, the price of the 
latter fluctuating with the English market. Milk is sold at 
retail for 8c per quart. 

It is instructive to go through the market building, where 
30 or 40 stalls are used for the display and sale of meat, and 
observe the marked difference in the color of the fat of the 
local beef as compared with the beef imported from America 
and the Argentine. 



The Guernsey Breed 61 

A strange fact came to my notice at my last visit, that 
when butchers on Jersey slaughter an animal with particularly 
yellow fat they send the meat over to be sold in Guernsey. 
This bears out the oft-repeated assertion that often an indi- 
vidual Jersey will yield butter as yellow as that of any Guern- 
sey. But this is not universal for the Jersey breed, whereas 
Guernsey butter is always yellow, and the Guernsey people 
have learned to prefer beef with yellow fat. They know that 
yellow fat is not an indication of an old animal, which is a 
popular misconception in our country. I have eaten some 
most excellent beef in Guernsey from native cattle. Many 
steers are fattened and butchered for the Christmas trade. 

Contagious diseases have up to recent years been compara- 
tively unknown in the Channel Islands. There was at least 
one serious outbreak of foot and mouth disease many years 
ago, but it was entirely stamped out and there has never been 
a recurrence of it. 

No case of tuberculosis has ever been known among the 
cattle of Alderney and never a reaction to the tuberculin test 
fro'm any of the several hundred head imported from there. 
The same was true of Guernsey up to a few years ago, and 
our government made an exception of the Channel Islands 
in the laws requiring that every animal coming into the coun- 
try must pass the tuberculin test, either before shipment or 
before being released from quarantine on this side. 

In 1905 or 1906, one or two cases of tuberculosis devel- 
oped in American herds in animals that had been recently im- 
ported from Guernsey, and these were traced back to an island 
herd whose owner had secured special permission from the 
Royal Court of the island to allow him to take animals from 
his herd to England for exhibition purposes, a privilege that 
had been accorded other breeders. This special permission 
was required because of the law forbidding the return of any 
animal taken off the island. Our government at once applied 
the tuberculin test law to the cattle coming from Guernsey 
and Alderney, the same being in force until the spring of 1914, 
when Alderney cattle were again exempted from the test. 

Before rigid measures were taken to stamp out the dis- 
ease in Guernsey it had spread by sale of stock to several other 
herds of the island. Each succeeding year the authorities 
thought they had discovered the last case, but would find 
others in some new herd, every case being traced back to the 
cattle of the first diseased herd.

The Guernsey Breed 



It is to be hoped that the authorities will shortly apply 
the tuberculin test to every animal on the island, and if this 
were done twice and disinfectants intelligently used, I think 
the disease could be entirely stamped out. I confidently expect 
to see the scourge again banished from Guernsey. 

As far as I have been able to discover, there is no con- 
tagious abortion or other serious cattle disease aside from tu- 
berculosis on the Channel Islands. This happy circumstance 
should continue, because of the isolation of the islands, to- 
gether with the marked improvement in the care of cattle. 

Records do not seem to tell when the first public shows 
were held on the island, but it was certainly as far back as 
1842. The Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural

Society have records of the animals winning at these shows 
since 1852. To this system of shows must be given a large 
part of the credit for the development of the breed along 
.present lines of symmetry. 

For this reason, even at the risk of making this book 
somewhat cumbersome, it seems appropriate to include the 
roll of prize winners at the island shows since 1878, the earliest 
date that the records of the society show the names of both 
animals and owners. In Vol. 1 of the Herd Book of this 
Society, issued in 1882, are the records of a few animals shown

The regular animal show conducted by the Royal Guern- 
sey Agricultural Society has always been held on the Tuesday 
of Whitsuntide, and a second show for bulls only was held at 
Michaelmas. Later shows have been held especially for the 
awarding of the queen's prize and later for the king's cup. 
A second regular show has since 1911 been held in August 
of each year. A few years ago an association was organized 
called The Guernsey Farmers' Association, and they too hold 
a regular summer show. 

On the Island of Jersey shows are held in each parish, 
but no attempt to hold a parish show had been made on the 
Island of Guernsey until the fall of 1913, when a very success- 
ful show was held in St. Saviour's.

On Guernsey at a special animal show the King' of Eng- 
land offers cups for the two best bulls and a cup for the best 
cow. On Alderney the king offers cups for the best bull and 
the best cow, which are awarded at the annual summer show. 
On Sark a king's cup is awarded to the best animal at their 
annual show. 

An animal may win the king's cup but once. Thus in 
the above list of prizes Governor of the Chene, for example, 
won the king's cup in July, 1907, and, though he won first 
prize again in Aug-ust, 1913, the king's cup was awarded to 
Raymond's Pearl King. These cups are, of course, much cov- 
eted, not only because they indicate that the animal won first 
prize but also because they represent the interest of His Maje- 
sty in their shows.

The Guernsey Breed 



The first interest in a herd book was manifested in 1876, 
when a few g^entlemen proposed a book in which the entries 
should be limited to animals in which they were interested. 
A list of some 170 animals was published in 1879 under the 
name of "The Guernsey Herd Book." The total number reg- 
istered by them was 36 bulls and 297 cows with their produce, 
selected from about 50 herds. The following quotation from 




Mabel 330, F. S. 1st prize, 1509. 

the introduction to Vol. I. of the Herd Book of the Royal 
Guernsey Agricultural Society continues the history of the 
development of the registry : 

"The question was by this time seriously entertained in com- 
mittee whether a Herd Book ought not to be issued under the 
auspices of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society. Then the 
promoters of the existing registry offered to hand over their work 
to the society, which, after careful deliberation, was eventually ac- 
cepted by a general meeting of its members. It was also decided 
that all bulls and milch cows that had been awarded prizes by the 
society since the year 1877 should be added to the list as qualified 
stock. At subsequent meetings it was further resolved — in order 
that no really good specimens may be excluded from the registry — 



The Guernsey Breed 



95 



that opportunities of admission should be afforded by the establish- 
ment of local shows in dififerent parts of the island, where animals 
belonging either to members or non-members might be examined 
and, if qualified, registered. 

"It was found that the majority of qualified cows were the prog- 
eny of bulls that had been awarded prizes by the society prior to the 
period from which the registry was supposed to date, amongst whicn 
were some of the finest strains that our breed has ever produced. 
These have been incorporated (Nos. 27 to 94), thereby enabling 
breeders in many cases to trace crosses for at least 10 years."

Among the by-laws adopted were those requiring that 
"the same name shall not be given to more than one animal 
except with a prefix or suffix." This rule has never been en- 
forced, and much confusion has been the result. 

By-law 4 requires : 

"The proprietors of Herd Book stock shall, within 24 hours after 
the calving of a cow or heifer, belonging to such stock, obtain the 
attestation of a member of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society 
to a certificate proving that the calf is the offspring of such cow or 
heifer, according to Form A. 

"Any person detected as having made a false declaration, or hav- 
ing participated therein, shall forfeit the advantages of the Herd Book, 
and the false entry shall be erased therefrom." 

By-law 5 requires : 

"The proprietors of qualified bulls shall keep a correct entry

(for the information of the committee when required) of all cows 
and heifers which may have been served by their bulls, according to 
Form B, and' deliver to the owner of each animal served a duplicate 
of the same. Serving fee to members not less than 2s. 6d; to non- 
members, not less than 5s." 

More or less jealousy and differences of opinion seem to 
have existed among the island farmers, as a result of which 
Part 1 of the "General Herd Book of the Island of Guernsey" 
was issued in 1881, and this rival publication was kept up for 
about 15 years. In the meantime the Herd Book of the Royal 
Guernsey Agricultural Society gradually increased in general

recognition, not only on the island itself but more especially 
by the American Guernsey Cattle Club. 

The preface from Vol. I of the "General Herd Book" is 
well worth reading because of references to purity of blood, 
color, and prizes. It is as follows : 

"A few words are necessary to explain the nature and object of 
the Herd Book, of which the first part is now issued, especially in 
view of the circumstance that another publication bearing the same 
name, but of quite different character, has already appeared. 

"The purposes of a Herd Book are, firstly, to register pure-bred 
stock, and secondly, by recording pedigrees, to enable the scientific 
breeder to follow and select the strains of blood which he deems most 
valuable. In carrying out this design in the leading herd books of 



The Guernsey Breed 97 

Great Britain and America it is left to the owners to register such 
animals as they think fit, subject only to the condition of proving 
their purity of breed. 

"But in the Channel Islands, where purity of blood is secured by 
laws prohibiting importation of breeding stock, it had occurred to 
some persons to make an entirely diflferent idea form the basis of a 
Herd Book. Following a suggestion which was first started' in Jer- 
sey, a few gentlemen in Guernsey, about five years ago, proposed a 
Herd Book in which the entries were to be limited to animals which 
they themselves should approve. They inserted some which were 
already dead, and took for their standard of living ones their own 
ideas as to external appearance, together with the 'milk test' invented 
by M. Guenon, a Frenchman, who conceived he had discovered an 
infallible criterion of the quantity of milk a cow would' yield in the 
direction of certain lines of hair between the udder and the root of 
the tail. Of this discovery it is sufficient to say that, whether suc- 
cessful or not with French breeds, it is proved to be entirely falla- 
cious when applied to Guernsey cows. A list of some 170 animals, 
made up on these principles, was published' in 1879 under the name 
of 'The Guernsey Herd Book,' and a second part was subsequently 
issued. 

"The great majority of Guernsey farmers, however, held aloof 
from this scheme; and dissatisfaction with the results of the judging 
caused' some of its first supporters to leave it. In 1881 its projectors 
offered to hand it over to the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural 
Society of the Island. That body, by a narrow majority, in which 
a number of persons who were not owners of stock were included, 
decided to take over the publication insofar as it had' already pro- 
ceeded; to add to it its own show prize lists of the two preceding 
years; and to carry it on for the future by inserting only the names 
of such animals as might take prizes at future shows. These ex- 
ceed 100 in each year, prizes being given to considerably more than 
half of the number exhibited. But still further to augment the number 
to be inscribed in the Herd Book as winners of prizes, it was re- 
solved to hold parish shows, at which no money prizes should be 
given, but every animal passed by the judges should be entitled to 
be registered in the Herd Book on the same footing as if it had 
taken a prize at the principal show. 

"A numerous meeting of Guernsey farmers, held immediately 
after these resolutions were passed, expressed their dissatisfaction 
with the arrangements thus made. It was felt that, while they low- 
ered, or destroyed, the value of honors gained at the island shows, 
they still subjected any Herd Book founded' on them to the mischief 
involved in the fact that selection would be founded on mere external 
appearance. 'While the importance of this element was fully ad- 
mitted, it was considered that, in the case of a breed' of which the 
special excellence lies in the quality as well as the quantity of the 
milk, exclusive regard to external points was not merely a fallacious 
test, but one likely to result in deterioration. It was further recog- 
nized that many of the most careful breeders in Guernsey had for 
this very reason never exhibited at the annual shows, and that a book 
which should' exclude their herds would be no fair representative 
of the best island stock. Instances were recalled in which, both by 
the judges for the herd book in question and by those of the agri- 



98 The Guernsey Breed 

cultural society, grave errors have been made in approving good 
looking animals of inferior milking quality and of indifferent breed, 
while rejecting others which in all essential respects were superior. 
It was held that a check would be given to real progress if the judg- 
ment of breeders as to their own stock were to be superseded by that 
of strangers, and if admission to an ot^cial Herd liook was made to 
depend on conformity to the fancies of a few individuals. It was, 
therefore, resolved that any such method of selection of breeding 
stock would be delusive and injurious, and' that the best course was 
to establish a general Herd Book for the Island of Guernsey, based 
simply on the principles on which those of Great Britain and Amer- 
ica are founded', and, therefore, open to all stock which might be 
proved to possess the qualification of purity of race. From such a 
register it was believed that breeders would be able to select the 
strains which they deemed best suited to their purpose, and' pur- 
chasers would not be misled l)y any alleged superiority beyond what 
they had the means of verifying. Rules for the formation of such a 
Herd Book were approved' by the meeting, and a committee was ap- 
pointed to superintend its preparation. The first part is now sub- 
mitted to the pul)lic. 

"The committee will only ?dd that the experience, even of the 
first year, has shown that owners do not enter their stock indiscrim- 
inately, but that in nearly all instances they limit themselves to those 
which they consider to be their best. If the pedigrees given are short, 
it does not indicate that care has not been bestowed on breeding 
hitherto, but arises from the fact that it has not been customary to 
keep a written record. So also the notice of honors obtained by the 
progenitors is frequently omitted, for the double reason that, not 
being greatly esteemed, no note has been preserved of them, and that, 
as the stock exhibited at the island shows have not been even distin- 
guished by names till within the last two years, it would not be possible 
to ascertain with certainty whether l\onors have been awarded or 
not. But the committee feels confident that the Herd Book now 
inaugurated' will lead to the general preservation of more accurate 
records of breeding, and to the fuller recognition, both in the island 
and elsewhere of the value of strains of which judicious breeding has 
already in numerous instances laid the foundation. 

"The colors of the Guernsey breed include white, red and black, 
in any mixture and shade, except roan, no instance of which is 
known to have occurred. Brindle is not uncommon, the nose may 
be either white or black." 

The volumes of this "General Herd Book" show that the 
work was incompletely done, and without doubt more rapid 
advancement was made in the improvement of the breed when 
this book was discontinued and all the effort put into one 
book. The American Guernsey Cattle Club ceased to recog- 
nize the General Herd Book in 1902. 

Because of the fact that no card index or other alphabet- 
ical list of the animals registered in the Herd Book was kept, 
it was impossible to tell whether any name chosen by a breeder 
for a calf he was ofifering to register had previously been 



The Guernsey Breed 99 

used or not, and so much duplication of names resulted. Only 
as recently as the year 1914 have the records on the island 
been put in such shape that duplication of names will not 
continue. 

Reference is made in the cjuotation from the Royal Guern- 
sey Agricultural Society Herd Book to the establishment of 
local shows, which have also contributed much to the devel- 
opment of the breed on the island. The plan was that such 
cows as had not won. prizes at the annual island shows, and 
wens, therefore, not eligible to entry in the Herd Book could 
be shown at a so-called local show, and, if approved by the 
committee, they were admitted as foundation stock. Such local 
shows are held as often as there is a demand for them, and 
when the secretary reports such a call the herd book com- 
mittee advertises two weeks in advance that on the day named 
and at a certain hour they will be at each of several points 
in the different parishes, usually near the parish church. The 
farmers then bring in their unregistered cows to be passed 
upon by the committee, which, if approved, are admitted as 
foundation stock, and their progeny are then eligible as pedi- 
gree stock, regardless of their individual merit. 

It is evident from the first volume of the Royal Guernsey 
Agricultural Society Herd Book that the first local show was 
held in July, 1881, and at that show 40 cows were admitted 
to the Herd Book. From that time until the local show of 
March 27, 1912, the animals admitted as foundation stock were 
classified as "Commended," "Highly Commended," and "Very 
Highly Commended," according to their quality, and these 
terms are now generally indicated in pedigrees or elsewhere 
by the abbreviations C, H. C, and V. H. C. 

Commencing with the local show held April 24, 1912, all 
cows are admitted and marked as "qualified at local show," 
and no designation is made as to difference in the quality. 
From the very first no females were admitted as foundation 
stock except cows in milk ; and a rule also exists that if the 
breeder fails to comply with By-law 4, which requires that a 
calf must be attested by a member of the Society within 24 
hpurs of its birth, a heifer could then not be recorded until she 
became a cow, when she must be entered as foundation stock, 
although, if her sire and dam were known, they were published 
in the Herd Book the same as pedigree stock. Up to March, 
1910, By-law 4 was not always complied with, and consider- 
able dissatisfaction resulted, but since that time it has been 
rigidly enforced. 



100 



The Guernsey Breed 



As early at least as 1883 an appendix to the General Herd 
Book was added for Alderney-bred cattle, and this was con- 
tinued to as late as 1893. A total of 40 cows were entered, 
but nearly all of these were cows that had been taken to 
Guernsey. The Herd Book of the Royal Guernsey Agricul- 
tural Society recognized the Alderney-bred cows at once and 
placed them in their registry on an equal footing with the 
others, No. 100 being an Alderney-bred cow. Large numbers 
of cows have been taken from Alderney to Guernsey every 
year since there began to be an export demand for cattle from 
Guernsey. It is impossible to say just how many of the cattle 
entered in the island Herd Book are Alderney-bred, because 
many of the foundation stock animals were entered without

the name of the breeder, and some of them, I happen to know, 
were Alderney-bred. While I find no written evidence, it is 
clear that Alderney-bred cattle were in the beginning admit- 
ted, whether inadvertently or not, to the registry of the Am- 
erican Guernsey Cattle Club. These cattle were first taken to 
Guernsey or to England and then brought to this country. 

Many years ago the breeders of Alderney started a herd 
book of their own, but no volume was ever published. Copy 
for the first volume was sent to the printers, but shortly after 
the printer died and the copy was lost. This work was taken 
up again in 1907, and in 1908 Volume I of the "Royal Alder- 
ney Agricultural Society Herd Book" was published. In 1909 



The Guernsey Breed 



101 



agitation was started to unite the herd books of the two is- 
lands, which was done in 1910, and the books are now pub- 
lished as "Herd Book of the Bailiwick of Guernsey," "Guern- 
sey Branch" and "Alderney Branch." 

The same system of shows is followed on the Island of 
Alderney as on Guernsey, though I do not know just how 
long such shows have existed there. 

The cattle on the Island of Sark were as early as 1883 
registered in the General Herd Book ; but, like the Alderney 
bred ones registered in the same book, it was only such ani- 
mals as were bred on Sark and taken to Guernsey. The Royal 
Guernsey Agricultural Society from the first recognized the

cattle of Sark as being the same as those of Guernsey. They 
were transferred back and forth. In recent years an annual 
show has been maintained on Sark. 

Whoever has been the tenant on the island of Herm has 
maintained a herd of Guernseys which are always recorded 
in the Herd Book of the Royal Agricultural Society of 
Guernsey. 

• That the best of feeling exists among the Guernsey breed- 
ers of this island group is proven by the fact that they attend 
the annual shows held on the other islands and often act as 
judges. There are now recorded in the Herd Book of the Am- 
erican Guernsey Cattle Club animals that have been bred on 
each of these islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and Herm. 
The bulls used on Sark are often of Guernsey breeding, but 
the breeders of Guernsey and of Alderney use native bulls only. 

One of the things that has without doubt contributed 



102 



The Guernsey Breed 



largely to the improvement of the breed in Guernsey is the 
fact that no hull is allowed to stand for public service on the 
island until he is 15 months old and has been taken to a local 
show with his mother and been approved by the Herd Book 
committee. The only exception to this rule is made when the 
bull's mother is dead but her quality known by the prizes she 
won at the public shows. 

As the islands are so small, no breeder on the Island of 
Guernsey would have to lead his animals more than three or 
four hiiles to exhibit them at the shows, and on the Islands

of iVldcrney and Sark, not more than two miles. It is, there- 
fore, a very easy -matter for the farmers to exhibit their cattle 
at these sliows, and oftentimes sexeral hundred of the best 
will be shown. • 

At the Whitsuntide Show the animals are di\^ided into 
the following classes: Bulls — First class, 27 months and over; 
second class, 18 months and under 27 months; third class, 
from 15 to 18 months. Cows — First class, age six years and 
over ; second class, four years and under six ; third class, under 
four years. Heifers — First class, two years and over; second 
class, 16 months and under two years ; third class, under 16 
months. The same classification is used for the August show. 



The Guernsey Breed 103 

The shows open at 9 :30 a. m., and animals are admitted 
up to 10:30 a. m. Different judges are had for each class, and 
usually two on a class. No visitors are allowed in the ring 
while the judging is going on, and as soon as the judges have 
finished their work a flag is hoisted to the top of the mast, 
when all visitors can enter the ring for a fee of 6d. The 
shows continue until 5 :00 p. m., when members can take their 
cattle home. The judges reserve the right to have the cows 
milked, if desired. 

The by-laws governing the King's Cup Shows require, 
first, that all animals nuist be bred or dropped on the island : 
second, in the event of a bull under two years being prized, 
the same is bound to be kept on the island for service until 
he has attained the age of three years ; third, if a bull is prized 
at two years or above, the same is bound to be kept on the 
island for service for the space of twelve months after the 
award. In the event of these or other rules not being com- 
plied with, the cups are passed down to the reserve animals. 
It is needless to say that keen rivalry exists at these shows, 
and the King's Cups are especially sought after. Some of the 
older breeders have a room literall}- full of cups that have 
been won at these shows. 



CHAPTER IV. 

Introduction Into America 

It is a well attested fact that Channel Islands' cattle 
(Alderney) were imported into the United States more than 
100 years ago, and, without doubt, some of these were Guern- 
seys. Their blood was not kept pure, and they became lost 
in the common herd. The first introduction of Guernseys into 
the United States, the records of which were kept so that 
later they and their descendants could be recorded in the 
American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Register, was an im- 
portation by a Mr. Prince, of Boston, Mass., in 1830 or 1831. 
These cattle were taken to his farm in Massachusetts, and a

little later a cow and a bull of this importation went to Cow 
Island, in Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H. These two animals, 
now registered as the Pillsbury bull 5816 and the Pillsbury 
cow 11310, were sold from this herd to General Moody A. 
Pillsbury, of West Boscawen, N. H. From these two founda- 
tion animals, some very good animals were developed in the 
hands of Joseph Barnard, of Hopkinton ; J. Arthur Jones and 



The Guernsey Breed 105 

George E. Barnard, of West Hopkinton ; and the Canterbury- 
Shakers, of Canterbury, N. H. ; and from this foundation came 
Lily Belle of Canterbury 11352, a splendid old cow, she being 
the granddam of the well-known cow, Glencoe's Bopeep 18602. 
The cattle descending from this first importation were not 
recorded in the herd register of the American Guernsey Cattle 
Club until 1899, but for many years previous to that time the 
New Hampshire gentlemen aforementioned kept a sort of 
joint private herd book. When the matter of registry came 
up for investigation by the club, it was found that Mr. Barn- 
ard Sr. had a carefully kept diary giving all the details of the 
individual animals, which made it possible to register a major 
part of each of these herds. 

The next earliest importation, as far as known from the 
records kept that later enabled the progeny to be recorded, 
was of three cows, Jennie Deans, Fenella, and Flora Mclvor, 
Nos. 1, 2, 3, respectively, of the American Guernsey Cattle 
Club Herd Registry. These cows were brought to New York 
on the schooner Pilot, September 26, 1840, by the late Nicholas 
Biddle, of Andalusia, Pa. Two of these cows dropped heifer 
calves, Fanny Ellsler 4, and Fairy 5, and one a bull calf, St. 
Patrick 1. Subsequently Judge Craig Biddle, a son of Nicholas 
Biddle, became equally attached to the cattle and visited the 
Island of Guernsey to see them in their native home. 

Prof. W. Gibson, an eminent surgeon connected with the 
University of Pennsylvania, who owned a country seat near 
Philadelphia, purchased a black and white Guernsey heifer 
in 1858. He was a great admirer of fine cattle and sub- 
sequently went to the Channel Islands and remained there 
for several months, visiting both Guernsey and Jersey Islands 
to learn all he could of both breeds. He became an enthusi- 
astic admirer of the Guernseys and wrote glowing descriptions 
of their superiority over the Jerseys. He brought back several 
choice animals for himself and several for his friend, Judge 
Biddle. The Biddies maintained the purity of their cattle for 
many years and kept careful records. 

As far as known, the history of the next importation is 
as follows: In the American Agriculturist of April, 1868, there 
appeared what is believed to be the first picture of a Guernsey 
cow published in America. This was of Cottie 188; and her 
owner, James P. Swain, of Bronxville, N. Y., writes as fol- 
lows in the article accompanying the cut : 

"You ask me for facts in regard to the Guernsey cow Cottie. 
I will tell you the story of the Channel cattle as far as they 



106 



The Guernsey Breed 



have come under my own observation. In the summer of 1845, I 
employed Mr. LeRoy, an intelligent Guernsey man, to build a factory 
for me, and he interested me in the cattle of his own and the other 
islands so much that I imported one from the little Island of Alder- 
ney, two from Guernsey, one from Sark and two from Jersey. I 
found but one of them to be a superior cow in every respect. She 
came from Guernsey, gave 32 pounds of milk a day when in full 
milk, averaging 24 pounds a day for eight months; was never dry 
during the six years I owned her. She was accidentally killed. Cottie, 
the property of George P. Nelson, Esq., of Scardale, is her first calf. 
She is now 14 years old and has been in milk over 12 years, except 




Cottie 188. 

two or three months. She averaged during the summer 24 pounds 
of milk daily for eight months, and about 8 pounds for the balance 
of the year. Of the quality of her milk I cannot give you facts, but 
can in regard to her sister. She was so much like her that we never 
could tell which was the better for quantity or quality. This sister, 
Katie, now owned by James Hall, Esq., of East Chester, gave at 
her height 45 pounds of milk per day, and made 14 pounds 5 ounces 
of butter per week, and averaged 24J/2 pounds of milk for eight 
months, and a little less than 8 pounds for the balance of the year. 
In all the descendants of Gottie and Katie, and they are very many, 
I do not think there is a variation of 1 per cent in the quantity or 
quality of milk they give, with same care. This family are all that 
have been of special value out of seven imported cows." 

The other Guernsey cow referred to was doubtless Curl 
Horn 183. The mother of Cottie referred to in this article 
was Guernsey 184, and she is recorded as "imported about 
1851 by J. P. Swain in the ship William Tell." 



The Guernsey Breed 107 

At about the same time Mr. Swain purchased the bull. 
Rosewell Colt 29, bred by Mr. Biddle, and in the fall of 1858 
he made another importation, in the ship Guy Mannerin^. 
He imported a cow which, as far as I can find, was never 
registered, but she was carrying- the calf Guy 33. 

In June, 1855, W. H. Stewart, of Torresdale, Pa., imported 
the cow named Stewart's Cow 11. Edward M. Hopkins, of 
the same place, imported the cow Flora 17 the same year. 

In 1855 Charles Henry Fisher, of Philadelphia, imported 
the three cows. Little Red Riding Hood 26," Sophia 27, and 
Fanny Physic 28. Mr. Fisher already owned a bull, Hercules 
9, born 1850 and imported by R. L. Colt, of Paterson, N. J., 
and the blood of these animals is still mingled in the high- 
class herd owned by James Logan Fisher, of Fernrock, one of 
the suburbs of Philadelphia. 

The Fowlers, of Philadelphia and Southampton, had 
brought over large numbers of Jerseys for public sale, and 
at about 1865 they began to bring a few Guernseys also, 
though I do not find any animal recorded of their importa- 
tion earlier than the cow Signet 99, imported to Boston in 
September, 1870. This cow was sold to James M. Codman, 
and he tells me that it was she that first gave him his interest 
in the breed. He also says that it was the first Guernsey cow 
sold at auction in the United States of which there is any 
record. Liking this cow and being impressed with the very 
yellow milk and butter that she gave, he decided the next 
year to make a trip to the island, arriving on the very morning 
that the cattle from Guernsey were being shipped over to 
Jersey for the Channel Islands exhibition mentioned in Chapter 
II. Seeing this, he stayed on the boat and went to Jersey 
and attended this exhibition. He spent several weeks on 
Guernsey, studying the history and characteristics of the 
breed, and purchased the cows Amber 50 and Crystal 51 for 
himself, and also imported the bull lasper 25 and the cows 
Pearl 20, Topaz 21, Jewel 22, and Ruby 23 for Wm. P. Per- 
kins, of Wayland, Mass. 

Shortly after this time the Massachusetts Society for the 
Promotion of Agriculture became interested in the introduction 
of Guernseys into Massachusetts for the improvement of the 
dairy stock, and as early as September 28, 1874, an importa- 
tion was made and the cattle scattered to many different farms 
in the state, including those of James Lawrence, Groton ; 
E. F. Bowditch, Framingham ; and W. C. Cabot, Brookline. 
All three of these herds are still maintained. 



108 The Guernsey Breed 

At the same time a group of farmers around Hartford, 
Conn., and especially those who were patrons of the creamery 
at Farmington, having heard of the Guernseys, and not being 
able to buy them in this country, unitedly sent to the island 
C. M. Beach, of Hartford, and M. C. Weld, of New York. They 
made a number of importations of cattle to Connecticut, and 
from them many herds were founded, including that of the late 
Edward Norton, who became the first secretary of the club. 

Other single animals imported earlier than 1871 were 
Lady Thierman 135, imported in 1869; Brown Forest 69, Belle 
Forest 67, Lady Forest 45, Lily Forest 41, and Lady Hudson 
391, imported May 2, 1870. 

In 1872 Silas Betts, of Camden, N. J., purchased the cows 
Queen 74, Beauty of Bloomfield 75, and Peeress 76 from an 
importation of E. P. P. Fowler, the last two named dropping 
the calves Billy 3 and Romeo 40. The cow Beauty of Bloom- 
field numbers among her descendants many high-class ani- 
mals, including the cow Cinderella 3251, that won first prize 
at the Wisconsin State Fair of 1887. 

At this time the Fowlers were gradually increasing the 
number of Guernseys in their importations, and in the spring 
of 1872 Thomas M. Harvey and Son, West Grove, Pa., pur- 
chased of them the cows Nos. 81 to 86, and these, with 
the cows Nos. 24 and 25, purchased by Messrs. Harvey 
of Judge Biddle, were the first cattle, as the records show, 
that went into Chester county, Pennsylvania, which county 
later was for years the headquarters for the breed. 

In May, 1878, importations were made to Boston by James 
Lawrence, who, it will be remembered, had some of the first 
cattle of the importations by the Massachusetts Society for 
the Promotion of Agriculture, and by this time cattle from the 
Fowler importations had been scattered to all the seaboard 
states. 

In 1878 Wm. L. Fox, of Foxburg, Pa., imported five cows. 
Frolic 49, Florence 50, Fancy 51, Fan 52, and Fay 53. In June 
of the same year J. J. C. Abbot, of Montreal, Canada, imported 
the cows Rosey of Les Vauxbelets 379 and Rosebud of Les 
Vauxbelets 2d 380, they appearing to be the first Guernsey^ 
to go to Canada. 

As early as November 24, 1872, a cow, Monica 371, was 
imported direct to San Francisco, Cal., by J. N. Knowles and 
sold to Henry Pierce, of the Yerba Buena ranch. In October, 
1879, Mr. Pierce made an importation of bull No. 183 and the 



The Guernsey Breed 



109 



nine cows Nos. 417 to 426. The descendants of this importa- 
tion have apparently been lost sight of. 

In 1871 the Coleman heirs, Cornwall, Pa., purchased the 
cows Nos. 397, 398, 620, 621, of the Fowlers, these cattle later 
passing to E. C. Freeman, who until his death in 1912 main- 
tained a high-class herd. The well known cow, Purity 2315, 
that won second prize at the Columbian Exposition in 1893, 
came from this herd. 

In 1878 L. W. Ledyard, of Cazenovia, N. Y., purchased 
two heifers, Fernwood Fancy Z7 and Kathleen 38, of Mr. 
Beach' of Hartford, who had recently imported them. Mr. 




Fernleaf 636 — 18.81 lbs. butter in seven days. 

Ledyard began at once to test his cows, and Kathleen made 
for him 22 pounds 4 ounces of butter in seven days and slit,- 
was the dam of Fernleaf 636, 18 pounds 13 ounces butter; 
and Fernwood Fancy made 14 pounds and 7 ounces. Mr. 
Ledyard became very favorably impressed with the cattle, 
and in September, 1880, he made an importation of 14 females 
and brought them to his farm, which he named "Fernwood." 
Included in this importation was the cow Lady May that made 
for him 19 pounds of butter in seven days. Mr. Ledyard be- 
came at once one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the 
breed, and in September of 1883 he brought over 25 females, 



110 



The Guernsey Breed 



Nos. 1464 to 1485 and 1565 to 1568, that were notable, indeed, 
and bulls Nos. 644 and 645. Among- these cows were Countess 
of Fernwood 1464, that made for Mr. Ledyard 14 pounds 12 
ounces butter in seven days and that was the dam of the ad- 
vanced register bull Viscount 2177, she being out of the cow 
Fleurie du Terte 1136, G. H. B., that had a record of 14 pounds 
10 ounces butter, Guernsey weight, on the island ; also Gazelle 
of Fernwood 1467, the mother of Glenwood Girl 1693; Fern- 




Fernwood Lily 1468 — 22.72 lbs. butter in seven days. 

wood Lily 1468, the dam of two advanced register bulls, Lily's 
Bonny Boy 2676 and Fernwood Lily's Son 3931 ; Guernsey 
Gift 1483, a very high-class daughter of Presto 14, P. S., that 
milked over 40 pounds of milk with her first calf; and Bonnie 
Lassie of Fernwood 1485, the dam of the celebrated bull. 
Bonny Boy 1097. With these cattle Mr. Ledyard also brought 
the cows Nos. 1506 to 1522 for Mr. Schenck, the most cele- 
brated of which was Vestall of Larchmont 1507, that made 
18 pounds 12^ ounces butter in seven days. 

In February, 1881, S. C. Kent, of West Grove, Pa., landed 
his first importation of cattle at Philadelphia, and in the next 
four or five years, in connection with James James, of Les 
Vauxbelets. Guernsey, and Mark Hughes, also of West Grove, 
imported over 1,000 head of Guernsey cattle and scattered 
them far and wide through auction sales. One of the most 
notable of his sales was the one held in May, 1884, at which 
76 animals sold above the $200 mark, and Lady Emily Foley 
2d 1700 sold for $1,900 to Henry Palmer, a neighbor of Messrs. 



The Guernsey Breed 



111 




Fernwood 1485. 



Kent and Huij;"hes, who also paid $480 for the cow Lily des 
Islets 1816 and $550 for the cow The Nun 1812. Many others 
sold above the $400 mark. From the books it would appear 
that during- those three or four years Mr. Kent registered 
nearly one-half of the cattle recorded in the American Register 
during that time. 

In view of the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease 
in the United States, the fact will be of interest that one of 
the importations made by Messrs. Kent and Hughes had this 
disease. The story of this outbreak is here given in Mr. 
Hughes' own words : 

"In the month of March, 1883, S. C. Kent, of West Grove, and 
myself, as partners, made an importation of 80 head of Guernsey 
cattle direct from the island. These cattle were landed March 18, 
1883, from the steamship Nessmore, at Baltimore. My memory is 
that they had been about 17 days on the ship. Quarantine enforce- 
ment, then imposed by the Treasury Department, requiring us to 
keep them 90 days in quarantine, was turned over to this state. At 
the time of this importation, and several others also, permission had 
been granted us before the arrival of the cattle to quarantine them 
in barns that we procured in West Grove, Pa. I had actual care 
of the cattle of these several importations. 

"As soon as this particular importation of cattle landed my 
man told me that some of the cattle were sick, and from what he 
told me of the symptoms I at once suspected foot and mouth disease, 
after having heard what I had of the recent attacks in England. I 



112 



The Guernsey Breed 



at once telegraphed Dr. Francis Bridge, of Philadelphia, (then the 
state veterinarian of Pennsylvania) and asked him to come at once 
to West Grove. They had been inspected by a government veterin- 
arian on the boat and when I arrived he said to me: 'Mr. Hughes, 
you have one pretty sick cow on board (which was Imported Cora 
de Sausmarez 1733, A. G. C. C.) that unless you take good care of 
you will lose.' The cattle were just in the early stages of the 
disease, having fever, not wishing to eat, and wanting to lie down, 
but the old cow referred to had begun to show later symptoms of 
the disease. We got the cattle on the cars and arrived at West 




Imp. Lady Emily Foley Jii 17UU. 

Grove with them at 2:00 o'clock the next morning and took them 
out of the cars at once to two barns. Dr. Bridge did not reach West 
Grove until about 9 a. m. that day. When I met him at the train 
I told him that I believed the cattle had foot and mouth disease, 
and he at once went to the station agent and had the cars in which 
the cattle came held up until disinfected by his direction. He diag- 
nosed it foot and mouth disease, as I expected he would. 

"Two men came over from Guernsey with these cattle, and these 
two men went to one barn and two of my men who lived in West 
Grove went to the other barn. None of these men left the barns 
during the 90-day quarantine period. I myself visited both barns 
every day and saw that Dr. Bridge's advice regarding the treatment 
of the disease was carried out. Included in his treatment was the 
standing of every animal twice each day in a trough of disinfectant 
and scrubbing her feet. Mr. Palmer's barn was on a farm that Mr. 
Palmer has just purchased, and the former owner had a sale of farm

113 



tools, two horses, and a goat advertised to take place on this farm 
soon after the arrival of the cattle. Dr. Bridge objected to the con- 
ducting of the sale there, but, finally, when I told him that we would 
see that no person went in or near the barn in which the cattle were, 
and I had promised to buy the two horses and the goat (the only 
live stock on the farm) he gave us permission to hold the sale 
and no evil results followed. 

"The stables and cattle were thoroughly disinfected every day, 
but no precautions were taken to disinfect the hay or straw in the 
mows above, although the men had every day gone up to these mows 
to throw down hay. Immediately at the close of the 90-day period 
these cattle were all taken to my home farm and placed with other 
cattle then on the place. About three months later one-half or 
more were sold and others farmed out among farmers in this locality. 
There was no further spread of the disease. Every animal had the 
disease, and not one died, not one aborted, and every calf born during 
the period was saved. Also, no udder trouble resulted, and this not- 
withstanding the fact that considerable hoof trouble resulted and sev- 
eral of these animals lost the shell of their hoofs during the sum- 
mer, the last ones probably as late as September or October while 
they were running with animals that had not previously had the 
disease. Some of the cattle also lost their horns, though I do not 
now remember how many. No United States inspector visited the 
place during the epizootic. 

"Before we got all of the cattle off the ship they had com- 
menced to load beef cattle and sheep into the ship, without its dis-

infection, for Southampton. Many of these animals were down with 
foot and mouth disease when they reached England." 

The statement has often been made that animals that 
have had foot and mouth disease were ruined for breeding- 
purposes. The records have been searched for the number of 
the progeny of this importation and of another importation 
of 80 head made the same year by Messrs. Kent and Hughes 
that did not have foot and mouth disease. The books show 
that 202 calves have been recorded from the importation that 
did not have the disease and 217 from the importation that 
did have it. It may be of further interest to state that Yeksa 
Sunbeam 15439 (857.15 pounds of fat); May Rilma 22761 
(1073.41 pounds of fat) ; Murne Cowan 19597 (1098.18 pounds 
of fat) ; Dolly Bloom 12770 (836.21 pounds of fat) ; Dolly 
Dimple 19144 (906.89 pounds of fat) ; Azucena's Pride 2d 
24957 (855.7 pounds of fat), and many others of the greatest 
cows of the breed are descendants from cows of the importa- 
tion that had the disease. At least six animals that have been 
grand champions at the National Dairy Show were also de- 
scendants of that importation. Lady Emily Foley 2d, men-

tioned previously, and Tricksey 1760 were in this importation. 

In 1883 A. J. Cassatt, who later became president of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, imported 12 cows. A clipping from 
the Guernsey paper, La Baillage, states that the prices he paid 
for them were from £50 to £210 each. Included in the lot 
was Vesta 2d of St. Peter Port 1443 (Vesta 2d 424, F. S.) 
that had made a record of 16 pounds of butter, Guernsey 
weight, in seven days on the island. 

In July, 1883, J. W. Fuller, of Catasauqua, Pa., made a 
small importation of five head, and in September, 1884, he im- 
ported 64 females and five bulls, which was one of the most 
notable importations ever made. Included in this lot were 
Select 2205, that founded the family of that name and that 
made 22 pounds 8 ounces butter in seven days ; Jolie 2d 2206, 
that is said to have milked 65 pounds of milk in a day ; and 
France 2207, that founded the France family. Several of the 
Select and Jolie 2d families came with this lot. There were 
also included in this importation the Windfalls, dam and 
daughters ; Lady Whitesea 2214 ; Daisy of the Rue a I'Or 2226;

In August, 1882, S. L. Hoxie, of S. Edmeston, N. Y., 
who was later the first superintendent of the advanced reg- 
istry for the Holstein breed, imported 27 females and two 
bulls. Included in this lot were Gully V 1590 (24 pounds 2 
ounces butter in seven days). Duchess of Brittany 1613 (21 
pounds 4 ounces), Stella 4th 1598 (18 pounds 4 ounces),

and many other excellent cows whose blood was scattered over 
New York and Pennsylvania. 

From 1884 to 1887 practically no cattle were imported, 
but in November, 1887, Levi P. Morton imported 60 cows 
and one bull. In this lot were some notable cows, including 
Bretonne 3660, that later made 602.9 pounds of butter-fat; 
Buda 7178, 602.7 pounds fat; Beinfaitrice 4th 3657, the dam of

note. Mr. Morton later made several other importations of 
high-class cows, but was so unfortunate as to lose 100 head 
of his best cows at one time by fire. 

E. N. Howell, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., imported 10 cows 
in September, 1886, and six more in April, 1888, among them

well Brothers, Natick, Mass., imported 14 cows. 

J. Pierpont Morgan imported 10 head in July, 1889, and 
in February, 1890, S. C. Kent made his last importation, which 
consisted of 60 females and one bull, 45 of which were sold 
at auction March 17, 1890.

used on the island. Mr. Shaw's idea was to import such 
cows as might be useful to the breed as representatives in 
the World's Fair test in 1893. Several of this importation were 
good enough to qualify for this test. Included in the lot was 
Pretty Dairymaid 2d of Guernsey 6366, that won first prize 
on the island in 1889, 1890 and 1892. 

In April, 1891. Edward Burnett, then proprietor of Deer- 
foot Farms. Southboro, Mass., made the first importation for 
H. McK. Twombly, consisting of 13 females. In this lot were 
Daisy Pearl 5990, Honoria 4th 5989, and Virginia of Madison 
6000, whose blood later added character to the breed. 

In 1894 Mr. Twombly imported 15 females, and included 
in this lot were Deanie 3d 7643. and Belvidera 7644, that later 
made an advanced registry record of 420.63 pounds of fat, 
and other good ones. In this same year Mr. Morton made 
a second importation of 17 head, which included among other 
good ones May Rose 4th 7682 and May Rose 5th 7681.

119 



In 1895 Allen S. Apgar, of New York, imported the bull, 
Squire of Lilyvale, that had twice won first prize on the island, 
and seven high-class females, two of the best of which were 
Success of Lilyvale 8284, which was bred on Sark, and Pride 
of Lilyvale 8285, of Alderney breeding, both of foundation 
stock. In April, 1895, Mr. JMorton made another importation 
of 27 females, including many animals whose blood is now 
scattered throughout the country. 

In 1896 James Forsyth, of Oswego, N. Y., imported a 
few animals, and in the same year Benjamin Heartz imported 
10 good females into Prince Edward Island. In 1898 Mr. 
Twombly imported 43 more females for his Florham herd. 

From that time until 1901 there were no important im- 
portations, and very few animals were brought over that

have left any appreciable impress on the breed. An importa- 
tion of six head by E. Rigg Brow, of Charlottetown, Prince 
Edward Island, was probably of most note. The Experi- 
mental Farms at Ottawa, Canada, imported a few head of 



120 



The Guernsey Breed 



hig-h-class animals in 1901. In the same year H. McK. Twom- 
bly imported 16 head of females, which was without doubt 
the highest-class lot that ever was imported, justice to this 
importation would not be g'iven unless all were named. They 
included Love Knot 14441, known on the island as Justinee 
II; Charmante of the Gron 14442 (676.46 pounds fat); Pre- 
toria 14443 (595.35 pounds fat) ; her daughter Pretoria 2d 
14444, tliat later sold for $1,500; Lady lUitterrteld 14445 (374.36

1904; Claremont Hyacinth 2d 14448; Lady of Fashion 1444') 
(336.51 pounds fat), daughter of Charmante of the Gron; 
Love Knot 2d 14450 (644.3 pounds fat) ; Maid of Kent 14451 ; 
Sign of Quality 14452; Ma Charmante 3d 14453; La Belle 
France 14454, known on the island as France HI, and one of 
the best known cows of the breed ; her daughter Bonne et 
Belle 14455 (423.85 pounds fat at three years of age) ; and 
Couleur de Rose 14456 (474.44 pounds fat). Not only did this 
importation represent a large amount of money, it having 
been reported that $4,000 was the price paid for France III, 



The Guernsey Breed

but it also represented a large amount of time and personal 
interest and investigation on the part of Mr. Hope, who 
selected them. 

To this lot was added, in September, 1902, six head more 
of very choice animals, including Itchen Beda 15627 (548.72 
])Ounds fat) and Itchen Daisy 3d 15630 (714.15 pounds fat 
at four years of age).

In March, 1902, lulvvard Trotter Price, of Broad Axe, 
Pa., made his first importation of 20 head, nearly all of them 
from England. V. Everitt Macy, of Ossining, N. Y., made a 
notable importation of 13 females in December, 1902. In- 
cluded in this lot were Masher's Justinee 16002 (510.58 
pounds fat), Cora's Queen's Prize IV 16004 (410.81 pounds 
fat), Beatrice of the Isles 16005 (518.52 pounds fat), and An- 
toinette's Queen's Prize VII 16010 (415.98 pounds fat). 

In September, 1902, E. L. Ames made what probably was, 
next to Mr. Twombly's, the most notable importation of any 
yet made. It included Hayes Richesse 2d 15474 (642.43 
pounds fat), Hayes Rosie 15476 (714.31 pounds fat), Playes 
i^'elois 2d 15478 (384.15 pounds fat). Lady Ovid of Easton 
15480 (551.06 pounds fat). Princess Rhea 15479 (775.69 pounds 
fat), and Melanie of Goodnestone 3d 15485 (387.76 pounds 
fat). The blood of several of these cows is an important in- 
fluence in the advancement of the breed. 

In July, 1903, Mr. Price made a second importation of 
17 cows, and animals from these two lots with some few Amer-

ican-bred, he showed with great success at the fairs in the 
fall of 1904, including the St. Louis World's Fair. In October 
of that year he sold them all at auction and immediately im- 
ported others that he distributed in very successful sales in 
the two following years. Among the latter lot were many 
cows of great excellence. 

In September, 1903, George Robbins, of Hinsdale, 111., 
imported one bull, and 10 heifers in calf, from the island, which 
I believe were the first imported by anyone west of the Al-

leghany mountains, after the much earlier importation into 
California of Henry Pierce already mentioned. 

Mr. Twombly made still another importation in April, 
1905, of 43 head, and a large part of these have since qualified 
for the Advanced Registry. Space will not permit of men- 
tion of all the records made by them, but the most notable 
was that of Rosy of the Palotterie IV 18897, that produced 
718.15 pounds of fat and was the dam of the bull Rocking- 
ham 18120, which sold for $2,000 at Mr. Phillip's sale in 1913. 
Mr. Robbins made a second importation of 17 head in August, 



The Guernsey Breed 



123 



1905, a third of 25 head in March, 1906, and a fourth of 30 
head in June, 1906. 

In July, 1906, Westmoreland Davis, of Leesburg-, Va., im- 
ported 13 choice animals, and the same year E. W. Oglebay, 
of Wheeling, W. Va., imported 10 head, mostly English-bred, 
and a second lot of 50 in July, 1906. 

E. C. Converse, Greenwich, Conn., being pleased with 
the first animals that he purchased at one of Mr. Price's sales, 
imported six cows in March. 1906. On October 2, 1905, A. A.

Elousman, Babylon. L. I., imported 27 females, 16 more in 
August, 1906, and 19 head in a third lot in November of the 
same year. 

Mention has been made of the first outbreak of tuber- 
culosis on the island. In one of Mr. Price's later importa- 
tions two cows had reacted, both coming from the infected 
herd on the island. Without doubt, the disease was also im- 
ported in the Housman importation, as many of them reacted 
almost as soon as they reached this country, and a large part 
of the importation was lost to the breed. Included in this 
importation was the bull St. Amant 11600, A. R.

In August, 1906, Alfred G. Lewis, of Geneva, N. Y., mad;^ 
his first importation, 71 head. During the next few years Mr. 
Lewis imported hundreds of the best cattle that the island pro- 
duced, selling them at public auction and private sales and 
scattering them into nearly every state from Maine to Cali- 
fornia. 

In May, 1907, I made my first visit to the island, bringing 
back Z7 head for different parties, mostly for Arthur Meeker, 
who himself afterward imported 22 heifers. Also in May, 
1907, H. W. Wigman imported 26 head, the bulk of which 
went to F. G. Benham, of Canandaigua, N. Y., and since that 
time Mr. Benham has made many importations himself of 
the sort that have greatly helped to improve the breed. 

In 1910, in connection with Arthur Meeker, I made an- 
other importation, and included in this lot were 60 head from 
Alderney, the first to come direct from that island. 

For some time previous to this date, F. S. Peer had been 



The Guernsey Breed

bringing over a few high-class Guernseys with his importa- 
tions of Jerseys, and finding a growing demand for them he 
greatly increased the number of Guernseys and decreased the 
Jerseys until now his importation of Jerseys has nearly ceased 
while he is importing large numbers of the best Guernseys. 

In October, 1908, George W. Ott brought over a lot of 
50 head, and has made several other large importations since. 

James H. Beirne, of Oakfield, Wis., bought three out 
of my first importation and liked them so well that he went 
over himself the same year and again the next. 

In 1909 I made an importation of 108 head for O. C. Bar- 
ber, Akron, Ohio, and a second one of 100 head for him in 
1913. 

Since 1908 the number of importations have so increased, 
as well as the number of cattle imported, and the facts are so 
well known to all that it is impossible and unnecessary to 
continue the detailed account of them. Among the names 
of those who have made one or more importations of note are : 
J. S. Govin, Menomonie, Wis.; Fred G. Phillips, Villa Nova, 
Pa.; Geo. C. Cooper, Superior, Wis.; M. A. DeWitt, Bing- 
hampton, Pa.; W. W. Marsh, Waterloo, Iowa; Thomas John-

nigh impossible to mention all of the men who have played 
a part in introducing the blood of the best island cattle to 
this country.

Mention has been made of the females only in these im- 
portations. Because a bull has so wide an influence, due to 
his greater ability to beget descendants, it seems wise to men- 
tion individually some of the best island bulls that have been 
brought to this country. Probably the first one that attracted 
marked atten'tion was the bull Sir Champion 38, imported by 
Thomas Harvey & Son in 187L He had 15 sons named after 
him, Sir Champion 2d to Sir Champion 16th, and dozens of 
other sons, nearly all of which were used in pure-bred herds. 
It has been said that more animals are traced to Sir Champion 
than to any other single animal of the breed. His son. Jeweller

117, was the best known bull of the breed from 1882 to 1887. 
This was about the time that talk about the selection of dairy 
cattle by the Guenon method was at its height. The system 
was based on the character of the escutcheon. 

The next bull imported that has made a marked impress 
on the breed was Presto of Preel 571, known on the island as 
Presto 14, P. S., and that 'bull won first prize on Guernsey 
in 1881. He is known only because of the descendants of his 
sons and daughters left on the island, and little is known of

his progeny sired in this country. His name appears in the 
pedigrees of a majority of the cattle imported from the island 
in recent years. Forget-me-not 587, imported by Edward 
Burnett and sold to Francis Shaw, appears in the names of 
many animals of Mr. Shaw's breeding. 

L. W. Ledyard in his importations brought over Lord 
Fernwood 644 and Fernwood Royal 645, the last named being 
a son of Presto 14, P. S., above mentioned and out of the cow 
Countess of Fernwood 1464, that was one of the best of Mr. 
Ledyard's importations. He was the sire of Bonny Boy 1097, 
and it was through this son that his blood was most dis- 
seminatecj. 



128 The Guernsey Breed 

In the Fuller importation came Herald 990 and his son 
Herald 2d 994, and the blood of these bulls appears in many 
of the pedigrees of today. With the first importation of Mr. 
Morton's came the bull Safeguard 1790. Later he imported 
Lord Stranford 2187, that became the greatest prize winning 
Ijull of the breed. He won first prize as a yearling on the 
island and won more than 125 prizes at nearly all the great 
fairs east and west in this country, but he never proved to 
be even an ordinary sire, and his blood now appears principally 
in pedigrees through his son Sheet Anchor and his daughter 
Robinson's Princess. While he attracted great attention as a 
show bull, there is no doubt that in his case the breed would 
be better if he had never been born. 

The next imported bull to attract particular attention was 
Golden Knight 3405, imported by E. S. Clark, Cooperstown, 
N. Y. He has through his sons Penwyn 4590 and Fenimore 
Prince 4559 contributed to the good of the breed. 

Three bulls came over in the latter Morton importations, 
and the bull Annatto 3887, that won the Queen's prize in 
1894, proved a very good sire and his blood has been dispersed 
to many of the herds of the country. In 1899 Howard Tuttle 
imported the bull Royal of La Lande 6223, and his list of 
advanced register daughters proves that he must have been 
i*. high-class sire. 

"in 1899 Mr. Hope imported for Mr. Twombly the bull, 
Island Champion 6263, known on the island as Masher 2d 
858, P. S., and he had been four times first over the island, 
second once, and third twice, besides winning the Queen's 
prize for the best bull in 1895. He was without doubt one 
of the best bulls of the breed, having eight advanced register 
daughters and six advanced register sons. This bull was of 
a pronounced dairy type, beautiful in color, head, and carriage. 
I well remember the great impression he made upon me the 
first time that I saw him. His son, France's Masher 2d 7248, 
was first prize in 1900 and was imported in 1901 by Louis 
Cabot, of Dublin, N. H., and later sold to S. M. Shoemaker, 
of Eccleston, Md. He had 28 registered daughters in this 
country, 13 of them having records up to 739.4 pounds of fat, 
and three advanced register sons. Cock of the Walk 8116, 
a foundation stock bull that very few American, breeders 
fancied, nevertheless proved to be a good sire. Among the 
many good animals that he sired is Spotswood Daisy Pearl 
7696, that made a record of 957.38 pounds of fat, being the 
largest record made by any cow up to that time. 



The Guernsey Breed 



129 



In September, 1902, Mr. Twombly imported the bull May 
Rose King 8336, a dark-colored, smoky-nosed bull and a son 
of May Rose 2d 3648, E. G. H. B., at a reported cost of $4,500. 
The records show that he was not accorded such opportunities 
in the Florham herd as was Sheet Anchor, but he proved to 
be much superior as a sire. He had in all 29 registered 
daughters, and of this number 21 have qualified for the ad- 
vanced registry, with average records up to 852.56 pounds but-

ter-fat. It is to be regretted that this bull was not given a 
greater opportunity, for without doubt he would have made 
an even more wonderful record for himself. 

In 1902 V. Everitt Macy imported the bull Financier 8571, 
a bull carrying the blood of the Masher family on his sire's 
side and of the May Roses on his dam's side, that has eight 
advanced register daughters with records up to 610.15 pounds 
of fat; and Masher's Galore 8572, the bull that, as his name 
indicates, was inbred to the Masher family, and that had 14 
advanced registry daughters with records up to 594.53 pounds 
of fat and four advanced register sons, one of which. King 
Masher 11084, is doing wonderful work in Dr. James E. Rus- 
sell's herd.

In 1905 Mr. Twoml)ly imported the ])ull Golden Nolile 
10580, that has four advanced register sons and 18 registered 
daughters, four of which have advanced register records up 
to 692.87 pounds of fat. He is perhaps even better known 
because of his son, Golden Noble 2d 1836, P. S., the record of 
whose daughters stamp him as the most prepotent sire ever 
used on the island. It is a great shame that he was killed 
when he was young and before his worth as a sire was proved. 
Every daughter of his seems to be a good one, and at this 
Vk^riting 24 of them have advanced register records up to 835.47 
pounds of fat. He has also four advanced register sons. On 
the island six of his daughters have made records up to 698.54 
pounds of fat. 

Mr. Price in his importations brought over a good many 
bulls, and among them was Governor I of the Chene 10563, 
that was sold at auction to John C. Higgins, Delaware City,, 
Del. When I went with Mr. Barber a few years ago to pur- 
chase Mr. Higgins' herd we were very much impressed with 
the young daughters of this bull, and the work that they are 
now doing stamps him as one of the most prepotent of Guern- 
sey sires. Among his advanced register daughters are Julie 
of the Chene 30460. with a record of 953.53 pounds of fat ; 
Jehanna Chene 30889, that holds the junior three-year-old

record of 863.36 pounds of fat ; Governor's Pauline 30472, with 
844.47 pounds of fat; Princess of the Chene 30461, with 739.33 
pounds of fat; and six others, each with a record of over 600 
pounds of fat. He has a total of 21 advanced register daugh- 
ters, out of 51 registered daughters. 

Another most notable bull of the Price importations was 
Golden Secret of Lilyvale 10028 which, like Golden Noble, 
was sired by Golden Secret 12599. This bull has proved a 
remarkable sire in the herd of T. W. & I. W. Roberts, Bala, 
Pa. Among his 13 advanced register daughters was Nellie 
Jay 4th 38233, with a record as a junior two-year-old of 736.32 
pounds of fat. 

In September, 1906, J. L. Hope imported the bull Masher's 
Sequel 11462 and sold him at once to R. & H. Scoville, Chapin- 
ville. Conn. This bull now leads all bulls of the breed in the 
number of advanced register daughters, having 66 that have 
qualified up to 1916, with more under test. He has also 19 
advanced register sons up to date. This bull was rather under 
size, plain at the shoulders, and not good enough to be called 
a show animal, but the high quality of his daughters attest

his prepotency as a sire. His blood breeds on, as is proved 
by the work of many of his sons and daughters. 

Raymond of the Preel 11353, a son of Alasher's Sequel, 
that has three times been second prize bull on the island, and 
that had for a dam Justinee I 4054, P. S., a cow that had won 
first on the island, was imported by Alfred G. Lewis. This 
bull had splendid opportunities, and for a time his blood was 
largely sought after, but the majority of his daughters have 
proved to be only ordinary producers. Few breeders are now 
using this line of blood. 




Imp. The Conqueror 2d 15325, with 16 Advanced Registry daughters with yearly 
records up to 928.39 pounds of fat. 

Another son of Golden Secret, St. Amant 11600, imported 
by A. A. Housman, proved to be an excellent sire, having 
four advanced register daughters, with records up to 657.2') 
pounds of fat. He has but 10 daughters registered in all. 

Among the good bulls that Mr. Benham imported was 
Holden 4th 12179, which sired Miranda of Edgewater 30870, 
with 730.4 pounds of fat at three years of age; and Cherry of 
Edgewater 38143, the leader in Class G, with a record of 7Z297 
pounds of fat; and other good ones. 

In his first importation, Mr. Bierne brought over Golden 
Hero of I'Etiennerie 12647, and he has eight advanced register

daughters, with records up to 684.05 pounds of fat, and six 
advanced register sons. 

Mr. Lewis in 1907 imported Billy's France 12476, a full- 
brother of Raymond of the Preel above mentioned. He was 
so much talked of that 10 of his daughters sold for an average 
price of $1,000 each, but few of them are proving little more 
than ordinary cows. 

In February, 1909, W. W. Marsh imported the bull Lord 
Mar 14359, that won first prize in the aged bull class on the

island in 1908. He now has 27 advanced register daughters, 
with records up to 674.91 pounds of fat. Among the number 
are Jessy Rose X 28373, that was grand champion at the 
National Dairy Show in 1913 and that recently finished a 
record of 646.03 pounds of fat as a three-year-old. 

In Mr. Barber's first importation I brought over the bull 
The Conqueror 2d 15325, and he now has 16 advanced register 
daughters, the best one being Daisy Moon 3d 28471, with a 
record of 928.39 pounds of fat. Another good daughter was 
Imp. Violet 4th of the Corbinez 32405, 756.72 pounds fat. 

Perhaps the only other imported bulls that have made or

are making records worthy of special mention, are Golden 
Secret 12599, several times mentioned above and last owned 
by F. L. Ames; Sequel's Monogram 15649, a son of Masher's 
Sequel, which now has 17 advanced register daughters, with 
records up to 583.24 pounds of fat ; and lastly the great bull 
Galaxy's Sequel 16904, that three times won first prize on the 
islands and also won the King's Cup in 1906. He was im- 
ported jointly by Mr. Marsh and myself in 1910, and sold 
to Myron C. Wick, of Chestnut Hill Farm. He has up to date 
39 advanced register daughters, with records up to 716.16 
pounds of fat. 

Breeders and dairymen in America are constantly asking 
about the comparative merits of island and home-bred cattle. 
If our official yearly testing means what we think it should, 
it ought to be true that the American-bred animals backed up 
by these records are better on an average than the island-bred 
ones. But at the same time it should be remembered that 
much more culling has been done on the island than in this 
country, which may more than ofifset the more intelligent 
breeding that the records make possible. 

The following comparisons may be of interest. There 
are 1,015 imported and 2,969 American-bred cows entered in 
the advanced registry, and of these 24.7 per cent of the im- 



The Guernsey Breed 



135 



ported and 15.3 per cent of the American-bred have records 
of over 500 pounds of fat. In other words, the proportion of 
imported cows having records above 500 pounds of fat is 61 
per cent greater than that of American-bred animals. 

The oldest cow in the advanced registry is 4885 Casseopia. 
Up to advanced register cow 3984, the last registered cow in 
the advanced registry is Jennie Glenwood of Iverness 54504, 
A. R. 3954, so that the total number registered between 
these numbers, 4885 and 54504, would be 49,619. Of this 
number 6,103 were imported. As stated previously, there are 
1,015 imported cows in the advanced registry out of the first 
3,984, which would show that 16.63 per cent of all the im- 
ported cows are in the advanced registry. Deducting the im- 
ported cattle from the total number would leave 43,416 Amer- 
ican^bred cows, of which 2,969, or 6.85 per cent, are in the 
advanced registry. 

My own opinion is that we need every good Guernsey 
cow that we can get in this country, no matter whether she 
is home-bred or imported, and we should get ride of the poor 
ones, no matter where they were bred. 

The development of the breed in the United States has 
been in the hands of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, 
which was organized Feb. 7, 1877, at the Astor House, New 
York City, the following persons being present : Dr. Charles

W. H. CALDWELL 
Secretary of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. 

The following were the first officers of the club : President,

Edward Norton, Farmington, Conn. ; executive committee, 
Thomas M. Harvey, West Grove, Pa. ; James P. Swain Jr., 
Bronxville, N. Y. ; James M. Codman, Brookline, Mass.; Silas 
Betts, Camden, N. J. 



The Guernsey Breed 137 

The first annual meeting of the club was held Dec. 19, 
1877, and at that time it was reported that 60 bulls and 133 
cows had been entered in the herd book by 40 different 
breeders. 

Mr. Norton continued as secretary until his death in 1894, 
when W. H. Caldwell, the present secretary, was elected. The 
club has been very fortunate in having had but these two 
capable and efficient secretaries in all of these years of its 
existence. Dr. King- served as president until 1882, when Dr. 
J. N. Borland, of Connecticut, was elected and served until 
1887. Silas Betts of New Jersey served seven years from 1888 
to 1895, inclusive, when, at his death, James M. Codman of 
Massachusetts was elected and served until 1912. Charles L. 
Hill, of Wisconsin, was elected in 1912, serving two years, 
when James Logan Fisher, of Pennsylvania, was elected. 

The scale of points adopted by the club in 1877 was as 
follows : 

Counts Points 

Quality of milk 30 

Skin deep yellow, in ear, on end of bone of tail, at base of 

horn, on udder, teats, and body generally 20

For bulls, deduct 20 counts for udder. 
For heifers, deduct 20 counts for udder. 



138 The Guernsey Breed 

The only change made in this score card in the next 10 
years was to take two points from the escutcheon and add 
them to "udder teats of good size," and note under score card 
said, "for bulls, deduct 18 counts for udder." 

At the annual meeting held in December, 1898. W. D. 
Hoard, J. M. Codman and Secretary Caldwell were appointed 
a committee to revise the score card, and December 13, 1899, 
the following scale was adopted:

At a meeting- of the club held at Chicago, October, 1914, 
the question of again revising the score card was brought up 
and a committee consisting of the executive committee, the 
president, secretary, and J. M. Codman, J- L- Hope, Frank 
Fox, H. W. Griswold, W. L. Erbach and J. E, Russell was 
elected to revise the score card. 

The growth of the business of the club has been gratifying 
and continuous. The report of the treasurer of the club, at 
the eighth annual meeting, showed a total business for the 
year of $1,629. At the 24th annual meeting, in 1901, the treas- 
urer's report showed business of $9,710.25, while at the 38tJi 
annual meeting in 1915 it showed a business of $86,309.06. 



CHAPTER V. 

The First Private and Official Tests 

What is believed to be the first record of a Channel 
Islands cow made and published in the United States is found 
in Vol. IV., pag-e 115, of the "Memoirs of the Philadelphia 
Society for the Promotion of Agriculture." It is quoted here 
from Vol. I. of the Herd Registry of the American Jersey 
Cattle Club, page 21. 

"I have upon my farm on the Delaware a cow of the Alderney 
breed, imported a short time since by Mr. Wurts. She has been fed 
in the usual way with potatoes, and during the last week the milk 
from her was kept separate and yielded 8 pounds of butter. The 
cow is a small animal, and is supported with less food than our 
ordinary stock. 

"By communicating this fact to the society, it will oblige, etc. 
"January 11, 1817. ' RICHARD MORRIS. 

"P. S. — The cow is three years old. 

"To Roberts-Vaux, Secretary of the Philadelphia Society for 
Promoting Agriculture." 

In a note on the same page it is stated "that the cow 
above referred to is now in the possession of another member 
of the Agricultural Society ; and after a fair trial made with 
her during last summer (1817) the superior richness of her 
milk, when compared with that of other cows, has been fully 
tested. She gave 9^ pounds of extremely rich, highly-colored 
butter per week." 

Another mention of the same cow will be found in the 
fifth volume of the same work, page 47, viz: 

"Germantown, Oct. 20, 1818. 
"With this you will receive a pound of butter made from the 
Alderney cow imported in 1815 by Maurice and William Wurts. ind 
now in my possession. She calved on the 13th of last month, and is 
now in fine condition, running on excellent pasture of orchard grass 
and white clover, and gives on an average about 14 quarts of milk 
per day. From this quantity, during the week ending the 7th instant, 
we obtained 10 quarts of cream, which produced 8 pounds 2 ounces 
of butter, and the week succeeding 10^^ quarts, which gave 8^ pounds 
of the quality of the sample sent. You will perceive it is of so rich 
a yellow that it might be suspected that some foreign coloring mat- 
ter had been added to it; but you may rely on it this is not the case. 
I add that one of the good properties of this valuable breed of cattle 
is the ease with which the creani is churned, requiring but a few 
minutes to convert it into butter. When a proper opportunity occurs, 
I shall endeavor to ascertain the quantity and quality of butter to be 
obtained per week from the Derry cow, imported this summer from 



The Guernsey Breed 141 

Ireland', and the Brittany cow from France, both of which breeds I 
have pure. 

"I remain respectfully, 

"REUBEN HAINES. 
"Richard Peters, Esq." 

In Chapter III. there is given a partial record of the cow 
Guernsey 184, A. G. C. C., which indicates that she was up 
to the standard of the breed of today. Her daughter, Katie 
189, is credited with 14 pounds 5 ounces of butter in a week, 
which record was probably made before 1860. 

In 1854 Thomas Motley published a yearly butter record 
of the Jersey cow Flora 113, A. J. C. C., which was 511 pounds 
2 ounces of churned butter. It would seem that this splendid 
record should have early stimulated owners of all breeds of 
cows to make yearly butter records, but, of course, such rec- 
ords involved much work and attention. I think no yearly 
butter record of a Guernsey cow was ever published, though, 
following this record of Flora's, several private yearly records 
were published of Jersey cows and some of other breeds. 

A few weekly butter records were made almost as early as 
that recorded of Katie, and many since. While they are of but 
little value in judging a cow, still such records are all we have 
of many of our early Guernseys. As the list of weekly butter 
records has not been published for some years, it may be of 
interest to many who have but recently commenced the breed- 
ing of Guernseys. Many of these were fat records with 20 per 
cent added for overrun.

I think, with the exception of the cow Katie, none of these

records was made previous to 1870. The only reason that can 
be given why more weekly butter records were not made by 
Guernsey cows is that the majority of them were in the hands 
of well-to-do gentlemen who kept them to supply their own 
and their friends' tables with milk, cream and butter. Know- 
ing the worth of their cows and having a ready market for the 
increase of their herds, they failed to become imbued with the 
testing idea. The same could be said, however, of Jersey 
breeders, and they were testing their cows. It may, perhaps, 
be true also that, realizing how little a weekly record could 
be depended upon as a real gauge of a cow's value, they de- 
clined to engage in this kind of work. 

Guernsey breeders early showed an inclination toward 
yearly records. 

The cow, Lily Alexandre 1059, made the following yearly 
milk record :

At the end of her trial she was still giving 28 pounds milk 
daily and was within two months of calving. The chemical 
analysis of her milk, made at this time, showed 7.02 per cent 
butter-fat, so she must have been a cow that would have made 
a large yearly fat record as well. 

Ezra Michener, of Lumberville, Pa., reported the follow- 
ing very good record of his cow, Euphemia 2005, for the year 
ending April 15, 1889: 8,685.75 pounds milk, and three butter 
records made in the second, fourth, and sixth months after 
calving of, respectively, 15, 11 and 9 pounds of butter per 
week. He estimated that she made at least 511 pounds of 
butter for the year. 

The Babcock test was invented in 1890 by Dr. S. M. Bab- 
cock, professor of chemistry in the University of Wisconsin. 
The whole dairy world has him to thank for a method of 
easily, cheaply and quickly determining the butter value of 
milk, which made it possible to test a cow for the year with 
very much less work than with a churn, and also affording 
greater accuracy as far as the cow's work was concerned. 

On February 28, 1891, I reported to Hoard's Dairyman 
a weekly butter-fat record for the cow. Imp. Regina 2691, the 
record being 283.75 pounds milk, testing 13.59 pounds fat, and 
this I believe to be the first butter-fat record reported. 

The yearly milk and fat records made in the herd of N. 
K. Fairbank, of Chicago, whose farm was at Lake Geneva, 
Wis., had much to do in bringing about a sentiment that led 
to the general adoption of the yearly record system. W. H. 
Lawrence, who had charge of the herd the 22 years of its 
existence, was always fully as much interested as the owner, 
and great credit should be given both of these gentlemen for 
the work done by that iierd. 

This herd was founded by the purchase of three head in 
February, 1881. Commencing with the year 1883, an account 
was kept of every pound of milk produced by each individual 
cow until the dispersion of the herd in 1903. I still have in 
my possession the books in which the records were kept dur- 
ing these 20 years, and they contain so much material for 
thought and instruction as to make it worth while to publish 
the data in this book.

The Guernsey Breed 



Until the invention of the Babcock test, Mr. Fairbank 
made frequent churn tests of his cows, so that he kept well 
informed of their butter production as well. Commencing in 
1892, fat tests were made of the milk each month and the 
percentages used in computing the approximate totals for the 
yearly fat records. I feel sure that the records of this herd 
will be found of interest :

Mr. Fairbank was careful to publish a summary of each 
record every year or two as the work progressed, and I know 
it was the reading- of these accounts that first inspired me to 
take up work along the same line. From the time that. our 
first Guernsey heifer freshened, in March, 1888, we weighed 



The Guernsey Breed 149 

the milk of every pure-bred Guernsey in the herd, and have 
continued to do so to the present. We began to keep yearly 
fat records in 1892. 

Yearly records of the Ellerslie herd, owned by Levi P. 
Morton, were carefully kept ; and under date of February 16, 
1893, Superintendent W. M. Cottrell reported to Hoard's 
Dairyman that the average yield per head for the 62 cows and 
heifers that had had a year's work completed was 6,119.75 
pounds of milk. The individual records over 6,000 pounds 
milk were as follows :

111 Aug-ust, 1893, the Morton barn was unfortunately 
destroyed by fire and only one cow of the original herd 
escaped death. Records were again kept of the new herd, of 
which the following is a list that includes every animal that 
completed a year's work in 1896, and only such cows as did 
complete such records are given :

Those marked with * were imported and arrived at the farm December 31, 1894. 

"From the above it will be seen that IS cows completed' a year's 
work. Their average butter yield was 417.90 pounds; average milk 
yield, 6,626 pounds; 15.85 pounds milk to a pound of butter. Their 
average age at commencement of year was 3 years and 8 months. 



The Guernsey Breed 



153 



Six of the number were newly imported and only reached the farm 
on the last day of 1894, and seven of the 15 were exhibited at from 
one to four fairs during the year. These facts are mentioned because 
the acclimation process (which is usually considered to take a year) 
and the excitement incident to exhibiting tend materially to reduce 
the year's record. Of the younger division, five were newly im- 
ported and five went the round of fairs. 

"J. L. Hope, Superintendent." 

George C. Hill & Son reported the following record for 
12 cows for the year 1893: 

"The following are the Guernsey cows in our herd that have

Many other breeders made private yearly records of one 
or more cows and some of them are worthy of particular rhen- 
.tion. That of the cow Fantine 2d 3730, A, G. C. C., owned by

*Was milked out a few times, of which no account was taken. 

In this record there is one important point to take into 
account. Not only did Fantine 2d give this large amount of 
milk and butter-fat, but she was dry during the month of 
September and a part of October and then gave birth to a 
fine bull calf. This makes the record one of 11 months in- 
stead of a full year. 

During her year's work she was fed as follows : In winter 
her daily ration consisted of 40 pounds of ensilage, 10 pounds 



The Guernsey Breed 155 

of cut stover, 8 pounds of mixed hay ; and of grain, 12 pounds 
of a mixture of oats, bran, and dried brewers' grain, with 2 
pounds of oil meal. The ensilage was rich in corn, and she 
was allowed in addition to this what wheat straw she cared 
to eat. On April 1st she was turned out to pasture with the 
rest of the herd and her grain ration reduced to 6 pounds. 
The latter part of July she was fed soiling crops with the rest 
of the herd. 

Two other cows, not otherwise mentioned, made over 
500 pounds fat. One was Yeksa Queen 631, owned by A. J. 
Philips, of West Salem, Wis., that gave 9,886.9 pounds milk, 
5.2 per cent fat, yielding 514.1 pounds fat. The other one was 
Glenwood Girl 2d 9108. that gave 9,944.7 pounds milk and 
508 pounds fat. 

At the meeting of the Guernsey Breeders' Association 
held June 8, 1894, it was suggested "that premiums be offered 
to breeders to induce them to breed for test. There seems 
to be no end of records for the Jerseys and Holsteins but a 
veritable dearth of Gviernsey tests. The advancement of the 
breed demands more thorough and systematic testing. The 
subject was not discussed at length but was left for a future 
meeting." 

October 26, 1894, at a meeting of this association in Phila- 
delphia, the following rules were drawn up under which tests 
were to be carried on by this association : 

"The samples must be secured for one day of each week, care 
being exercised to have these (which should be taken as soon as 
milked) well mixed. 

"The cows must be milked out clean and at regular hours, morn- 
ing and evening, and' equal samples taken from the entire product of 
the two milkings, properly cooled and delivered to Marshall and 
Cochran, chemists, 315 North Fifth street, Philadelphia, in condition 
satisfactory to them. The bottles must be full to prevent churning. 

"All expenses connected with the tests to be paid by the con- 
testants. If any test appears phenomenally high, or if, for any rea- 
son, the executive committee sees fit, they, or any one whom they 
may deputize, are at liberty to visit the dairies and take samples tor 
themselves during the period of testing. 

"Postal cards will be furnished all members making tests, on 
which will be blank forms to be filled and sent monthly to the secre- 
tary; this data to be formulated and given out at our meetings from 
time to time. 

"The testing will commence 12th month (December) 1, 1894, 
and persons cannot enter for the first year later than fourth month 
(April) 1, 1895. Report on first year's tests to be made fourth month, 
1st, 1896. Any one wishing to start in advance of above date may 
do so by notifying the secretary and complying with these rules. 



156 The Guernsey Breed 

Anyone desiring to enter contest between fourth month 1st, 1895, and 
fourth month 1st, 1896, may do so; said tests to be counted in the 
second year, which will end fourth month 1st, 1897, as it is deter- 
mined to carry on the work for at least two years. The contest is 
for individual tests and" for largest yield of butter-fat in a year. The 
yearly award's will be as follows: First prize, $100; second prize, 
$50; third prize, $25. 

"One hundred dollars of this amount to be assumed' by the asso- 
ciation, the balance of yearly awards to be raised by contribution. 
Competitors may enter more than one cow if desired, keeping records 
individually. Members of the Guernsey Breeders' Association only 
are at liberty to compete for the prizes. All animals competing must 
be registered in the American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Register. 

"The association will be glad to enroll as members other breed- 
ers. Terms of admission will be furnished by the secretary on appli- 
cation. All persons wishing to compete will please apply to the secre- 
tary for blanks as early as possible. It is desired that this effort will 
be fruitful of lasting results, and' breeders are urged to take hold in 
earnest in the behalf of the good work." 

"W. B. Harvey, Secretary. 

"West Grove, Pa., Nov. 1, 1894." 

The results of the first year's work were announced as 
follows : 

"First prize, King's Myra 5399, made 539.48 pounds of butter. 
She was fresh December 12, 1893; served January, 1895. Owner, Ezra 
Michener, Carversville, Pa. 

"Second prize, Imported Beauty des Domaines 3d 4933, made 
504.77 pounds of butter. She was fresh September 25, 1894; served 
February 7, 1895; and is six years old. Test commenced October, 
1894. Owner, Henry W. Comfort, Fallsington, Pa. 

"Third prize, Mary Marshall 5604, made 485.55 pounds of butter. 
She was fresh March 16, 1895; served April 3, 1895; and is four years 
old. Test commenced March, 1895. Owner, Ezra Michener, Car- 
versville, Pa. 

"The cows winning first and third prizes were fed a liberal but by 
no means an excessive ration, varying through the year, of wheat, 
bran, corn meal, cottonseed and oil cake, glucose, hay and fodder, 
in varying proportions. A sample winter month reading as follows: 
Three quarts each of wheat, bran, and glucose, one quart each oi 
cottonseed and oil meal, and some hay. 

"The second prize cow, at about the same time of year, had en- 
silage, 6 pounds of bran, 3 pounds cerealine, 3 pounds cottonseed 
meal, and a little hay. 

"Summer sample rations for same cows are as follows: First and 
third prize, pasture and four quarts of wheat bran, four quarts of 
glucose, and one quart of cotton seed meal per day. Second prize, 
grass and eight quarts of bran per day. 

"The differences in food given did not affect the award, but were 
mad'e a part of the record for the instruction of the members. 

"John C. Higgins entered Pomara 3d 1743 — dropped April 22, 
1882 — made 443 pounds of butter; Golden Horn's Mary 8975 — dropped 
November 23, 1892 — made 407.9 pounds of butter. These cows had 



The Guernsey Breed 157 

grass only from May 10th to September 10th. The rest of their ex- 
treme daily ration was eight quarts bran, one quart cottonseed meal, 
one bushel corn ensilage and clover hay at night. Golden Horn's 
Mary's test was after the first calf, April 17, 1895, to April 1, 1896; in 
the meantime she dropped a calf, March 12, 1896." 

The society voted to continue the work another year. 
The results for the second year were as follows : First prize, 
Imp. Beauty des Domaines 3d 4933, giving 535.39 pounds but- 
ter; second prize, Mary Marshall 5604, with 511.25 pounds 
butter; third prize, Jessie H. 4348, with 479.25 pounds butter. 
The first named was owned by H. W, Comfort, of Fallsing- 
ton, and the last named by Ezra Michener, Lumberville, Pa. 

In the fall of 1896 the writer, following the private yearly 
fat records being made in several herds and noting the inter- 
est and favorable comments in the agricultural press, wrote 
a letter to the executive committee of the American Guernsey 
Cattle Club, urging them to take up this work and offer some 
prizes for the best records made in this way. At a meeting 
of the committee in December, 1896, they appointed Secretary 
Caldwell and the author as a sub-committee to take the matter 
under consideration and report at the next annual meeting, 
which they did. The matter was freely discussed and a res- 
olution was passed "that it is the sense of this meeting that 
butter tests should be started and that the matter of conduct- 
ing them should be left with the executive committee with 
power to act." 

In July the following rules were published : 

Butter Test for Guernsey Cattle. 

"The American Guernsey Cattle Club ofifers the following prem- 
iurns for the cows or herds of Guernseys making the three best rec- 
ord's for butterfat for the year, under the conditions hereafter named. 

"For individual cows— $50, $30, $'20. 

"For herds of five cows each, $100, $60, $40. 

"1. All animals competing must be registered in the herd regis- 
ter of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. 

"2. The following entry fees shall be paid to the treasurer of 
the club on receipt of notification from him that the animals named 
will be accepted for competition, but no animal or animals shall be 
enrolled unless said fee is paid before the opening of the test. For 
each cow, $5. For each herd entered, $15. 

"3. Each contestant shall be allowed to name seven animals 
for the herd prize, the results to be determined from the records of 
the five best animals. 

"4. These tests shall be under the supervision of the executive 
committee of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, but any member 



158 The Guernsey Breed 

of the executive committee owning animals competing in said tests 
shall be barred from having any supervision of said test or tests. All 
cows shall be wholly under the control of the owner so far as feed- 
ing and general treatment are concerned. 

"5. All the expenses connected with the tests shall be paid by 
the contestants except those incurred by carrying out the provisions 
contained in Rule 9. 

"6. Each year's test shall commence in November; the first test 
commencing November 1, 1898. All animals competing shall be 
named at least 30 days prior to the opening of each test. The results 
of each test shall be reported to the annual meeting of the club, when 
the prizes will be awarded. 

'7. At the end of each month every contestant shall report to 
the office of the club upon blanks furnished them for such purpose by 
said office: 

"a. A complete record of the weights of each milking. 

"b. An approximate statement of the amount and kind of food 
given the animals, and as to the manner of stabling and care of 
same, including the dates of service or when in heat and not served. 

''8. About the middle of each month samples shall be taken of 
the night's and following morning's milk and sent to the agricultural 
experiment station of the state in which the animal is located', or to 
such place as may be directed or approved by the executive commit- 
tee, these samples to be properly labeled with the date and amount 
of each milking, the result of such tests to be reported by the tester 
to the office of the club. 

"9. At such times as the executive committee supervising said 
test or tests shall see fit, but at least twice during the year, they 
shall send anyone whom they may deputize to visit the herds from 
which animals are entered, to weigh and test the milk from cows 
competing. 

"10. The results of eacn year's tests shall be computed in the 
following manner: The weights of milk produced each month shall 
be multiplied by the per cent of butterfat as shown by the official 
test for that month, and the sum of the results thus obtained shall be 
the year's record." 

The work was started November 1, 1898, and the three 
herds of Ellerslie Stock Farm, Rhinecliff, N. Y. ; Ezra Mich- 
ener, Carversville, Pa. ; and Geo. C. Hill & Son, Rosendale, 
Wis., were entered ; and James H. Bierne, of Oakfield, Wis., 
also entered two single cows. A summary of the results of 
the first year's test is as follows, the herd of Mr. Michener 
being withdrawn during the year :

a strange coincidence, both of Mr. Bierne's cows were five 
years old and both calved the same day. They were bred by 
N. K. Fairbank at his place at Lake Geneva, Wis., and were 
sired by his bull Lily's Bonny Boy 2676. Lilyita's dam was 
Zoelita 5949, out of Zoella 3301, by Nutwood 1408, a son of 
the noted Materna 1334. Lily Ella was out of Zoella 3301, so 
their blood lines were very similar. 

A very interesting- account of Lily Ella's work as a three- 
year-old was published in the July, 1898, Herd Register of the 
American Guernsey Cattle Club. She then made a record 
after first calf of 513.18 pounds of fat in one year, and a seven- 
day record of 16.68 pounds of fat. The following table pre- 
sents the details of her record from November 1, 1898, to 
October 31, 1899. A study of this table shows that she not 
only made her record of 782.16 pounds of butter-fat but she 
also produced during the year a living calf, she being dry 
eight days before calving and for two days after calving no 
account being taken of her milk. Lilyita's record, while not 
quite as high as that of Lily Ella, was made under similar 
conditions, she having produced a living calf during the year 
and was dry about the same length of time.

These records attracted the attention of the dairy reading 
public throughout the world, and people traveled from all 
over the country to Oakfield to see Mr. Bierne's herd. The 
contest was so successful that the club decided to continue it, 
and two or three herds and some single cows were entered. 
All shortly withdrew, however, except the herd of Geo. C. 
Hill Si Son, who, at Secretary Caldwell's suggestion, also dis- 
continued work until the spring of 1900, except for the one 
cow Gypsy of Racine 9639, that promised to make an excep- 
tionally good record, which when completed was 11,247.5 
pounds of milk, containing 611.4 lbs of fat. 

The second year's contest was started May 1, 1900. Dur- 
ing this test a state official visited the farms every month 
and weighed and tested a day's milk of each cow, the owner 
keeping a record of the weights only. The records made in 
this second year's competition were as follows :

urged the establishment of an advanced registry on the basis

162 The Guernsey Breed 

of the yearly production of butter-fat ; and at the annual 
meeting- in ]\Iay, 1901, the following rules were adopted: 
The Advanced Register of Guernsey Cattle. 

"Wishing to encourage the rearing and breeding of Guernsey 
cattle of high individual record in production of dairy products and 
standard of excellence, The American Guernsey Cattle Club has 
adopted the following rules for the establishment of a system of 
registry, to be known as The Advanced Register of Guernsey Cattle 
in America. 

Eligibility of Animals. 

"All animals admitted to the advanced register must previously 
be entered in the herd register of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. 
Any such will be admitted into the advanced register under any one 
or more of the following conditions: 

"Bulls — a. Admitted after scaling 80 points and having two 
daughters in the register. 

"Bulls — b. Admitted without scaling after having two daughters 
in register. 

"Cows — a. Admitted for milk or butterfat records and scaling 
over 75 points. 

"Cows — b. Admitted for milk or butterfat records without 
scaling. 

"All cows admitted must equal or exceed one of the following 
records. 

The Milk Requirement. 

"If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, 
or previous to that da}\ she must produce within one year from that 
date 6,000 pounds of milk. For each day the animal is over two 
years old at the beginning of her year's record, the amount of milk 
she will be required to produce in the year will be established by 
adding 3.65 pounds for every such day to the 6,000 pounds required 
when two years old. This ratio is applicable until the animal is five 
years old, when the required amount will have reached 10,000 pounds, 
which will be the amount of milk required of all cows five years old 
or over. 

The Butterfat Requirement. 

"If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, 
or previous to that day, she must produce within one year from that 
date 250.5 pounds of butterfat. For each day the animal is over two 
years old at the beginning of her year's record the amount of but- 
terfat she will be required to produce in the year will be established 
by adding .1 (one-tenth) of a pound for each such day to the 250.5 
pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until 
the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have 
reached 360 pounds, which will be the amount of butterfat required 
of all five years old or over. 

Seven-day Butterfat Record. 

"If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, 
or previous to that day, she must produce within seven days from 
that date 10 pounds butterfat. For each day the animal is over two 
years old at the beginning of her seven-day record, the amount of 
butterfat she will be required to produce in the seven days will be

established by adding .00456 (456 hundred thousandths) of a pound for 
each such day to the 10 pounds required when two years old. This 
ratio is applicable until the animal is five years old, when the required 
amount will have reached 15 pounds, which will be the amount of 
butterfat required of all cows five years old or over. 

'"The above yearly standards are based upon one complete year's 
record from the time of oeginning, regardless of the time lost by 
being dry or calving during that period, should such be the case. 

"The per cent of butter-fat shall be determined by the Babcock 
test. For the purpose of estimating the amount of butter from the 
amounts of butterfat produced, we recognize the rule approved by 
the association of agricultural colleges and' experiment stations, 
namely, 'add one-sixth to the amount of butterfat.' It should be 
understood, however, that in all records made for, or published in. 
The Advanced' Register, the amount of butterfat produced only will 
be given. 

"The records may commence at any time upon giving 10 days' 
notice to the secretary of the club, in order that arrangements for 
an inspector may be made. No seven-day records shall be commenced 
until 14 days have passed since the animal calved. 

Fees. 

"No entry fee will be required in this work in view of the great 
benefits arising to the breed by having properly authenticated milk 
and butter records, made, gathered, and published under this system. 

Reporting Records. 

"Blanks for reporting the results of all tests or inspections will 



164 



The Guernsey Breed 



be furnished by the secretary of the club, and must be carefully filled 
out. 

"The complete results of all seven-day records and also of each 
day's inspection during a year's test will be reported by the in- 
spectors. 

"The owners of the cows in the yearly records will be required 
to report the weight of each and every milking and such approximate 
statements as to food and care as they can give. 

Supervision and Inspection. 

"This register shall be under the general supervision and direc- 
tion of the executive committee,' who shall have power upon a ma-

jority vote, to alter and amend the conditions established for carry- 
ing forward the work. 

■'The secretary of the club is authorized under direction of the 
executive committee to prepare and publish blank forms and circu- 
lars needed in carrying this system into effect; receive and attend to 
all applications for this register; cause to be made all examinations 
of cattle for it; issue all certificates of registry for it; edit all publi- 
cations of this registry in the Herd Register of The American Guern- 
sey Cattle Club; and perform such other duties as may be required 
of him by the executive committee, to secure the success and suf- 
ficiency of this system. 

"An oflficer or assistant of an agricultural experiment station, or 
of an agricultural college, or some person whose integrity and ability

is vouched for by the director, or by the professor of dairy hus- 
bandry of such an institution, shall be employed to inspect and sup- 
ervise the tests and the descriptions of the animals for which entry 
is applied for. 

"The secretary may appoint, with the advice and consent of the 
executive committee, special inspectors in special cases to examine 
cattle offered' for entry. 

"No one shall examine cattle for this register over which he has 
charge or in which he has a pecuniary interest. 

"In all seven-day tests the inspector shall see the cow milked dry 
at its commencement, and shall be present thereafter at each milking 
until the record is completed; he shall determine the weight of each 
milking, and its average per cent of fat separately, and make a de- 
tailed' report of same, with a statement of the approximate amount 
and kind of food given the animals, and as to the manner of stabling 
and care of same, including the date of calving, the dates of service 
or when in heat and not served. Such detailed report shall be made 
over his signature and affidavit and forwarded to the secretary im- 
mediately upon the completion of the record'. 

"In all yearly records the inspectors shall make a report similar 
to the one for the seven-day tests of each month's inspection of 
each and every cow inspected with the exception that the inspec- 
tion shall be but one day's duration, and the butterfat determined 
from a composite sample representing all the milkings of the day. 

"All expenses, including time and traveling expenses, for investi- 
gation of the records, scaling the animals, or overseeing the seven- 
day tests, shall be paid by the owners of the cows so inspected. All 
similar expenses in connection with the yearly records shall be paid 
by the American Guernsey Cattle Club. The pay of the inspectors 
in all instances shall be a matter of agreement between the authori- 
ties of the experiment stations, which they represent, and the owners 
of the cows in the seven-day class, or the secretary of the club in 
the year's class."

Spotswood Daisy Pearl 17696 — A. R. 790 — yearly record, 18,602.8 pounds milk, 
957.38 pounds fat. 

As the records of the last year's competition were made 
under practically the same rules as those adopted, such of 
those cows as had passed the advanced registry requirements 
were admitted and appear as cows Nos. 1 to 10. The advanced 
registry records now completed are a great credit to the breed, 
and the popularity which the breed has achieved because of 
these tests redounds to the credit of The American Guernsey 
Cattle Club who thus originated the Advanced Register sys- 
tem based on yearly butter-fat records. 

Experience proves that a serious omission was made in 
drawing up the rules, in not requiring that a cow must drop 
a calf within 15 months of the time she started her record, 
if she started as a fresh cow. 

Since the Advanced Register has developed so rapidly 
and the high records of the leaders of each class -are con- 
stantly being exceeded, and since the American Guernsey 
Cattle Club publishes at frequent intervals not onl;-' i-he new 
records made from time to time but also complete lists of all 
of those made up to date, it is unnecessary to include the li'st

in this book, though, of course, all would agree that the pub- 
lication of such records is the most important factor in the 
development of the breed today. To show the development 
of the work, however, the following list is given of the cows 
that once were leaders in the several classes:

It has been interesting to watch the development of this 
work and to see how quick the breeders are to follow up the 
blood lines of the animals that have made or are making 
phenomenal records. 

Not only have the cows made wonderful records, but 
their ability to do it year after year is even more remarkable. 
Probably the most notable example is that of Dolly Dimple 
19144, that made 70Z.2>7 pounds fat as a two-year-old, 906.89 
pounds at 3^/2 years of age, and 876.34 pounds at five years of 
age. Her dam, Dolly Bloom 12770, made 453.86 pounds as a 
two-year-old, 623.94 pounds as a three-year-old, and 836.21 
pounds at five years of age. 

Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656 made 405.51 pounds as a 
two-year-old, 860.26 pounds as a three-year-old, and 910.67 
pounds at 4^ years of age. 

Other cows that twice or more times have stood at the 
head of successive classes are Imp. Itchen Daisy 3d 15630, 
Yeksarose 16610, and Azucena's Pride 2d 24956. 

Practically the whole dairy public now concedes that 
semi-official yearly butter-fat tests conducted on the lines of 
our advanced registry are the only system needed for pro- 
moting and recording the work of any dairy breed. Still the 
Guernsey breeders have not been backward in entering their 
cows in public competition from time to time. 

The rules for the advanced registry have been changed 
from time to time, and a copy of the latest rules for this work 
can always be obtained by writing the American Guernsey 
Cattle Club, Peterboro, N. H. The principal changes in the 
rules since their adoption are that today the owners are re- 
quired to pay the expense of the monthly inspection, animals 
are now admitted on a yearly record only, all animals are ad- 
mitted without scoring, and the requirement for milk pro- 
duction has been eliminated so that animals are now admitted 
on a butter-fat basis only. 



CHAPTER VI. 

Island Records 

The breeders of Guernsey have always had such a good 
demand for their animals that they have been slow to test 
their cows, and comparatively few records have been made

on the island. Their records show that at least the follow- 
ing list of cows have been tested there for seven days :

The milk record of the cow, Flukes 378, F. S., is worthy 
of particular mention. For seven days in May, 1886, she made 
the following record :

Total for the week, 396 pounds 13 ounces. 

Another cow that made a very notable milk record on the 
Island was Pretty Dairymaid 2d 1469, F. S. In an ofificial 
test for three days she gave 61 pounds 2 ounces, 62 pounds 
12 ounces, and 52 pounds 9 ounces — total, 176 pounds 7 ounces 
— in three consecutive days, and the reason for her being so 
low on the third day was that she was out the whole day in 
a severe storm. 

In 1911 Mr. Marsh offered the Royal Guernsey Agricul- 
tural Society $500 for prizes for semi-official yearly butter

tests, the test to be conducted on much the same basis as our 
Advanced Register records are made. They refused his gift 
of $500, but adopted rules almost exactly along the lines sug- 
gested by Mr. Marsh. The rules follow : 

In order to encourage the breeding and rearing of cattle of 
great merit in production of high quality dairy products the Royal 
Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society adopt the following 
rules for the establishment of a system of registry to be known as 




Flukes 378, F. S. — 396 pounds 13 ounces milk in seven days. 

"The Advanced Register of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural and 
Horticultural Society's Herd' Book." 

(1) This register shall be under the general supervision and 
direction of the managing committee, who shall have power to alter 
and amend' the conditions established, and their decision shall be 
final. The managing committee shall have power to appoint a sub- 
committee to carry on the work. 

Eligibility of Animals. 

(2) Any animal owned by a resident of the Island of Guernsey 
or its Bailiwick, and entered in the Herd Book of the Royal Guern- 
sey Agricultural and Horticultural Society may be entered for ad- 
mission in the Advanced Register under any of the following condi- 
tions: 

(a) Bulls having two daughters in this Advanced" Register or 
that of any recognized "Guernsey" testing association with equivalent 
requirements. 

(b) Cows of five years old and upwards that have provided 360

An allowance of 2 per cent will be made to cows due to calve 
within 13 months of date of last calving, and of 4 per cent if within 
12 months of date of last calving. The words "due to calve" shall 
be understood to mean 287 days from date of last service. 

(c) In order that these tests may be carried on under normal 
farming conditions all cows entered are expected to be led and safely 
in calf within five months of the date of last calving. A cow failing 
to comply with this rule, may, subject to the consent of the sub- 
committee, be entered in the Advanced Register under the following 
penalty, viz., a deduction from her record as under: — 

If calving within 14 months of last calving, 4 per cent. 

If calving within 15 months of last calving, 6 per cent. 

If calving within 16 months of last calving, 8 per cent. 

If calving within 17 months of last calving, 10 per cent. 

If calving within 18 months of last calving, 12 per cent. 



174 The Guernsey Breed 

If calving within 19 months of last calving, 14 per cent. 
If calving within 20 months of last calving, 16 per cent. 
If calving within 21 months of last calving, 18 per cent. 
If calving within 22 months of last calving, 20 per cent. 
If calving after this period she will not be accepted for entry. 
Exceptional cases, such as abortion, will be dealt with on their 
merits by the managing committee. 

The owner will be at liberty to feed his cow or cows at his own 
discretion. 

Fees and Expenses. 

(3) The entrance fee for testing shall be lO'l- for each cow. 
This fee will cover the entire cost for the year, except that it may 
be necessary to provide meals for the supervisor on the day of the 
official monthly test. 

When an animal has qualified for entry under the requirements 
of Rule 2, the secretary, in accordance with Rule 14, will be em- 
powered to enter such animal in the Advanced Register, and issue 
a certificate on payment of a fee of 5|- for each cow, and' 10|- for 
each bull, to defray cost of registration. 

Commencement of Records. 

(4) Regular entry forms will be furnished free by the secretary, 
and also printed blanks for keeping the record's. 

The entry form, properly filled out, must be handed to the 
secretary, accompanied by the fee, within seven days of the com- 
mencement of taking record. 

(5) The test period need not be confined' to one period of 
lactation, but may extend into the following period of lactation, pro- 
vided it is confined to 365 consecutive days. 

(6) In the case of a cow entered immediately after calving, 
record's may not commence until the seventh day after calving, and 
shall close 365 days from the date of the first record. 

Nature of Tests. 

(7) The test, which is to determine the amount of butterfat 
given in one year (365 days) by any cow, shall consist of a daily 
record of milk production to be kept by the owner of animals en- 
tered, added to a test made for one full day each month by an offi- 
cial supervisor, or supervisors, appointed bv the Royal Guernsey 
Agricultural and Horticultural Society, who will see each cow milked 
and weigh such milk immediately, taking samples of each milking, 
and testing same for butterfat by the Babcock or Gerbher tester, such 
butterfat tests to be taken as the average for the month. 

(8) The cows under test shall be milked the same number oi 
times on the day of the visit of the official supervisor as they have 
been on the preceding days of the month, and the number of milk- 
ings per day shall in no case exceed three. 

(9) The average per cent butterfat, calculated from the yield 
and the tests of milk as reported by the supervisor, will be taken 
as representing the average fat contents of the milk of the cow during 
that calendar month. 

The total of the monthly milk yields and the total of the 
monthly credits for butterfat shall constitute the year's record for 
milk and butterfat respectively. 

(10) In the event of either the supervisor or owner being dis- 



The Guernsey Breed 175 

satisfied with the record of the day on which the test was made, 
then a second' test may be made by the supervisor, such second test 
to be noted on the record sheet. 

(11) No owner shall be entitled to have more than eight cows 
under test at the same time without first having obtained a special 
permit from the secretary. 

(12) It shall be permitted for any representative of any recog- 
nized Guernsey Testing Association to look over the tests made by 
the official supervisors. 

Re-entry. 

(13) An animal after having been admitted to the Advanced 
Register may be re-tested for the purpose of giving a better record, 
and, if successful, admitted and' the record published as "Entry of Ad- 
ditional Record," using the original number assigned to the animal 
and giving reference to previous record. The fees payable being as 
per Rule 3. 

Issue of Certificate. 

(14) All completed records shall be submitted by the secretary 
to the sub-committee, and no certificates shall be written until the 
records, thus submitted, have been approved by this committee. The 
sub-committee shall' have the right to refuse or delay for further 
investigation any record which in their judgment it is wise so to do. 

(15) All entries in the Advanced Register will be published in 
the next issue of the society's herd book. 

(16) Any incorrect entry may be expunged from the manuscript 
volume of the register, and the certificate of such entry revoked by 
the managing committee upon evidence of its incorrectness. 

Sub-Committee Pow^ers. 

(17) The sub-committee, appointed by the managing commit- 
tee for the purpose of the Advanced Register, shall have the power 
to arbitrate all points of difiference that may arise, subject to the 
right of appeal to the managing committee. 

They shall also have power to reject or discontinue any cow 
from the test for any reason they may consider good and sufficient, 
and may, when considered desirable, delegate one of their number 
to accompany the official supervisor. 

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO SUPERVISORS. 
Identification of Cow. 

"The supervisor shall at each visit satisfy himself that the cow 
to be tested answers the description as to color markings given when 
entered. In case the animal does not agree with the description 
furnished the supervisor shall report same to the secretary. 
Conduct of the Tests. 

1. The supervisor shall be present at the last regular milking 
preceding the beginning of the test, and' shall satisfy himself that 
the cow is milked dry at that time. He shall note the hour at which 
this milking is made, and the final milking on the day of test must 
be made at the corresponding hour. 

2. He must be present throughout each and every milking dur- 
ing the test, and satisfy himself that at the close of each milking 
the pail contains nothing but the milk drawn from the cow in the 
test. 



176 The Guernsey Breed 

3. Under no circumstances shall more than two cows under- 
going test be milked at the same time. The supervisor must in 
every case be in position to observe the milker or milkers throughout 
the whole milking. 

4. Immediately after the milk is drawn he shall take charge of 
the pail and contents, weigh the same on scales, the accuracy of 
which he has tested', and enter the exact weight of milk, at once, on 
his record. He shall also test the scales of the owner to see if they 
correspond with his own, 

5. As soon as the milk has been weighed and is thoroughly 
mixed by pouring it from one pail to another, or by means of a dip- 
per, a sample is immediately taken. The supervisor takes charge of 
and is personally responsible for this sample. The owner has the 
right to demand" from the supervisor duplicate samples for testing. 

The test is proceeded with as soon as convenient after the milK 
has cooled to ordinary room temperature. 

6. Duplicate fat determinations are always made by the Babcock 
or Gerbher test, and both determinations recorded. Readings of 
the result are made about 130 F.; the test bottles are preferably placed 
in a small tin pail containing water of this temperature for five min- 
utes before the readings are taken. If duplicates vary more than 
two-tenths of 1 per cent, the test must be repeated. The sample 
taken from any one milking is not thrown away until a satisfactory 
result is obtained. The supervisor shall enter at once the results 
obtained on his record' book. 

7. The supervisor shall be required to pay special attention to 
the filling out of the test report blanks, especially as to dates of 
calving, service, in heat, or not served, etc. Any sickness or other 
conditions shall be made a note of. 

8. The supervisor is not at liberty to decide as to which stipula- 
tions contained herein are essential, and which are not, but is re- 
quired to observe these directions in all details. He shall report 
promptly any irregularity or unusual occurrence in connection with 
the test which he may observe, and shall in general, take all means 
to conduct a fair and equitable test of the cows placed under his 
supervision.

uary, 1913, and a complete list of the records to date follow :

Not havin,^ an experiment station on the Island to super- 
vise the records, a man. is regularly employed by the society, 
and there are now so many cows under test that it takes 
practically all of his time. Already these yearly records are 
having a marked effect on the breeding operations of the is- 
land, and it is almost certain that in a short time most of the 
bulls used on the Island will be from the cows that have made 
advanced register records. 

Prices for the best of the tested animals are going up by 
leaps and bounds as the American breeders come to know 
more about their records. The islanders, trained by their 
show yard ideals, will maintain the individual excellence of the 
Island cattle, but it is to be hoped that they will not let either 
one make them forget to maintain the peculiar trait of the 
breed, that of giving highly colored and highly flavored milk, 
cream and butter. 



CHAPTER VII. 

Guernseys in Public Tests 

While the value of public tests has been greatly over- 
estimated, still this book would hardly be complete without a 
review of the results achieved by them. The earliest record 
that I find of a Guernsey cow being entered in a public test 




Imp. Coraline 1790 — 18.74 ounces fat in one day — 18 pounds butter in seven days 

on grass alone. 

is that of the cow, Coraline 1790, at the Wisconsin State Fair 
in 1886. The results of this test on a butterfat basis were as 
follows : 

Butterfat Butterfat Av'ge for 

Sept. 22 Sept. 23 24 hours 

Cow Breed ounces ounces ounces 

Gabriel Champion Jersey 23.21 24.28 23.80

Coraline 1790 Guernsey 18.50 18.98 18.74 

Rosa Grade 29.97 26.20 28.09 

According to the scale of points adopted, these cows were 
credited as follows : 



182 The Guernsey Breed 

1 point for 3 points for

Coraline 11.80 56.22 68.02 

Rosa 9.20 84.26 93.46 

Coraline was fed an average of 12 pounds of grain a day 
and the others were fed from 13.09 pounds for Fyke up to 
18.11 pounds for Rosa. 

At the New York State Fair in 1890, there were entered 
in a butter test four herds of four cows each. Two were Hol- 
stein herds, one was a Jersey, and one a Guernsey. The rules 
required the cost of food consumed to be taken into considera- 
tion, and the prize of $100 was awarded for the greatest total 
production of butterfat. Quite a complete report of this test 
will doubtless prove of interest. The following is a copy of 
the ofificial report made by the society.

It will be seen that Mr. Morton's Guernseys had been in 
milk an average of 83 days each ; the best herd of Holsteins, 
72 days each. Those were the days of the large weekly but- 
ter records, and it is of interest to note that the two cows, 
Tirania and Mechthilde, of Messrs. Robinson's herd were 
credited with private records of 39 pounds 10.5 ounces and 36 
pounds 11 ounces, respectively, in seven days, while none of 
the Guernsey cows have published records. It was revela- 
tions such as these that deterred Guernsey breeders from mak- 
ing- private butter tests against such questionable competi- 
tion. Writers of those days often said there was no evidence 
of the Guernseys being good producers, simply because 
Guernsey breeders did not take kindly to the weekly butter

test. When records began to be made on a fat basis, they 
found reasons to change their minds. 

In May, 1887, a New York dairy show was held at Mad- 
ison Square Gardens, at which a public one-day test was 
carried on, and the following table gives the results :

Cows Nos. 1, 2, 5, 6 were Holsteins; Nos. 3, 7, 8 were 
Jerseys ; and No. 4 was a Guernsey. The results indicate that 
there was a disposition on the part of the buttermakers to 
leave considerable water in the butter, and Dr. S. M. Babcock, 
writing under date of May 21, 1887, commenting on this said: 
"I think the only fair way to judge such tests is by the amount 
of fat which the butter contains." 

In 1888 the New Jersey Experiment Station asked the 
different associations registering purebred dairy cattle to se- 
lect and furnish the station with three purebred cows each. 
Five associations did this. In Bulletin 47, December 11, 1890, 
the following tables were published:

It was very unfortunate that the New Jersey station lost 
this herd of cattle by fire so that the experiment could not 
be continued. 

At about the same time, the station located at Geneva, 
N. Y., undertook similar work, except that they started with 
heifers instead of with cows, and they, too, were unfortunate 
in that disease nearly ruined many of the cows. Probably 
because of this discouragement and also because there was so 
little value in a test of breeds where so few individuals were 
concerned, they discontinued the work. 

The following table and the table on page 186 are taken 
from the report of that station for 1894:

test, and that none of the Guernseys continued after the sec- 
ond year. 

The table on page 187 gives a complete summary of the 
work as far as they carried it. 

While the number of individuals involved in this experi- 
ment is small, the results bear out other similar tests in prov- 
ing that in economy of butterfat production the Guernsey has 
no superior. 

In 1900 Prof. F. W. Woll, of the University of Wisconsin, 
published in the Breeders' Gazette a compilation of the aver- 
age annual production of 186 cows of different breeds, all of 
which had been at different American, experiment stations, 
and the results are as follows :

Polled Angus 1 1,256 5,992 261.7 37.07 4.37 

It will be noted by this table that not only did Guernseys 
lead in the average production of butterfat, but also that they 
produced this at a lower food cost than the cows of any other 
breed, with the exception of the single Polled Angus cow, 
with a production much lower than that of the Guernseys. 

The cost of food required for the production of milk and 
fat was as follows : 

Food cost per Food cost 

100 pounds milk, pound fat, 

Breed cents cents 

Jersey 74.0 14.5 

Holstein-Friesian 61.6 17.6

Ayrshire 74.1 20.3 

Shorthorn 55.4 13.9 

American Holderness 70.2 18.8 

Polled Angus 61.9 14.2 

In 1893 there was carried on at the World's Fair at Chi- 
cago a very exhaustive breed test, in which 25 cows of the 
Jersey, the Guernsey, and the Shorthorn breeds were entered. 
The test was divided into three periods, the first being from 
May 16th to May 26th, in which a test for the production of 
cheese was carried on; the second of 90 days from June 1st to 
August 29th, for the production of butter ; and the third of 30 
days' duration. At each change of period breeders were al- 



The Guernsey Breed 



189 



lowed to substitute any animals that they wished. In the 
cheese contest the cheese was valued as follows : That scor- 
ing 95 to 100, at 16c; 90 to 95, at 14c; 85 to 90, at 12c; 80 to 
85, at 10c. The cost of food for producing one pound of cheese 
was, for Guernseys, $6.74; for Jerseys, $6.76, and for Short- 
horns, $9.22. The figures of total production and cost were 
as follows :

Jersey 13,296.4 1,451.76 98.14 

Shortliorn 12,186.7 1,077.60 99.36 

The prices of foodstufifs per ton were : Cornmeal, $22 ; 
corn hearts, $13.50; oats, $23; cottonseed, $26; bran, $12.50; 
middlings, $13; grano gluten, $14.75; oil meal, $22; hay, 
$11.50; and ensilage, $5. It is very difficult to compute com- 
parative profits for these cows because prices of food and 
products have so changed.

I have purposely omitted the matter of profit because 
the butter was variously credited at from 40c to 50c per pound 
when it was not worth an average of 25c in the market that 
year. This made it possible to figure much larger profits for 
the cows than the conditions warranted. In the case of the 
cheese test, the cheese was actually worth not over 8c per 
pound, and with lj4c as the usual price allowed for the mak- 
ing, the Guernsey and Jersey cows would have just paid for

their feed, while the Shorthorns would have come a good way 
from it. But in the published reports, with cheese valued at 
125^@15c, the cows were represented as making individual 
profits for the 15 days of from $1.08 to $6.97. 

Throughout the year the Guernseys maintained their 
reputation for scoring above other breeds in the flavor of the 
butter, while the Jersey butter always excelled in solidity.

When it is considered that, up to the time of this test, only 
about 6,000 Guernseys had been registered in America, that 
the Guernsey interests were then in their infancy, and that 
only by the generosity of some men deeply interested in the 
breed was it possible for the Guernseys to enter this test, the 
results were very gratifying, indeed, and multitudes of new 
friends were made for the breed. As the Guernsey butter 
was made without artificial coloring matter, it proved a revela- 
tion to people who had not previously known of the breed. 
In 1901 the officials of the Pan-American Exposition, to 
be held in Bufifalo that year, announced that they would con- 
duct a model dairy, to consist of five cows from each of as 
many breeds as could be obtained. The committee of the 



The Guernsey Breed 



193 



American Guernsey Ca^ttle Club that was put in charge of 
the Guernseys would never have taken the cows to Buffalo 
at all except upon the representation of the officials that no 
test would be attempted, but that only a model dairy would 
be carried on. When the committee reached Buffalo, how- 
ever, and the cows were on the grounds, it was found that 
plans were under way for a regular breed contest similar to 
the one conducted at Chicago, The Guernsey people had 
decided after the Chicago test that the results to be obtained

from such tests were not commensurate with their cost ; but, 
having the cows at Buffalo, the committee finally decided to 
participate. Much credit is due S. I. Murphy for the work 
done by the Guernseys. The American Guernsey Cattle Club 
have given such wide publicity to that test, that the results 
are reviewed here only in summary. 

The following regulations were adopted to govern the 
competition of returns and the awarding of honors : 

Prices of feed per ton: Oil meal, $25; bran, $15; ground oats, 
$19; cottonseed' meal, $25; corn meal, $16; gluten feed, $16; pea meal, 
$25; clover hay, $7; ensilage, $2; green food, $1.75. 

Values of products per pound: Butter, 25c; total solids, 9c.

The loss or gain in weight of animals to be computed at 3c per 
pound. 

What the loss or gain in live weight has to do with pro- 
duction in live cows has hardly been determined. 

Prizes were awarded as follows : 

A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit, but- 
terfat alone considered, as determined by the Babcock test. 

A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit in 
total solids. 

A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit in 
total solids and in loss and gain of live weight. 

The names of the five Guernsey cows participating in the 
test were Cassiopeia 4885, Procris of Paxtang 8722, Medara

The standing of the 10 breeds competing in the Model 
Dairy Breed Test in the dififerent classes follows : 

The prizes were awarded according to the net profit, de- 
termined by deducting the cost of food from the total value 
of the product.

The yield of churned butter was computed from the actual 
results of one day's churning of each breed's cream from the 
milk of one day of each week, and the yield for the week de- 
termined from this churning in proportion to the actual milk 
yield of the breed for the week. 

Owing to lack of machinery, during the first three weeks 
no churnings were made. The amount of butter credited for 

the period was determined in a similar manner from the actual 
churning during the following three weeks.

196 The Guernsey Breed 

So far as the rules are concerned, the above covers the 
ground and is in substance the official report. To Guernsey 
breeders these results were most gratifying. It established 
the fact that the Guernsey has no superior as a butter pro- 
ducer. This breed test, and that at the World's Fair at Chi- 
cago have proven that no one breed has all the best cows, 
that there are good points in all breeds, and that the Guern- 
sey has shown the public she is willing to divide honors with 
them all. 

The official records of the Pan-American test show that 
the Guernsey cow, Mary Marshall, returned the greatest net 
profit in butter production of the entire 50 entered. Her 
profit was $59.41 for the period. The Guernsey cow, Cassio- 
peia stood third, with a profit of $50.42, and the Guernsey cow, 
Procris, fifth, with a profit of $49.49; thus three of the best 
five cows were Guernseys. The records also show that the 
Guernseys made butter at the least cost per pound, and re- 
turned the greatest profit for every dollar invested in feed.

During the progress of the test there was exhibited in a 
glass case a sample of the butter made from the milk of each 
herd. Fresh samples were made once a week and submitted 
to an expert, who scored them. The average score shows 
that the Guernsey butter ranked highest on flavor and color, 
thus being the best-quality butter. The score used in judging 
the butter was as follows: Flavor, 45; grain, 25; color, 15; 
salt, 10; finish, 5. Total. 100. In the test no use of butter 
coloring was allowed.

Vega 7214 — Member Pan-American Model Dairy Herd, Buffalo, 1901. 

From these averages it will be seen, that the qualities that 
have been claimed for Guernsey products are noticeable here. 
The desirable flavor which has been so highly prized wher- 
ever Guernsey milk and cream have been sold we find in the 
butter. It is not expected that the ability of the Guernsey 
to color her milk and butter is so pronounced in the summer 
season when on green, food in comparison with some of the 
other breeds, but it was readily seen in the samples of butter 
exhibited and in the scoring. The contrast would undoubt- 
edly have been much greater in the winter season on dry feed. 

To those of us who watched the scoring of the butter 
for color the scores given did not at all represent the dififer- 
ences in the butter, for some that was practically devoid of 
color was scored as high as llyi or 13, while butter practically 
perfect in color was scored but 14^. If in the scoring of but- 
ter 15 points out of 100 is not too much to allow for color, 
then in a contest of this kind white butter should be scored 
much lower than is done in practice. If only two points of 
difference are all that may be made for color, then 12 points 
should be taken from the points allowed for color and added 
to those for flavor. If this were done, Guernsey butter would 
score higher because of its recognized superiority in flavor 
over other butters. 

It will also be noted that the Guernsey cows maintained 



198 



The Guernsey Breed 



their reputation for producing butterfat at the lowest cost 
per pound. 

In 1909 W. W. Marsh, of Waterloo, Iowa, offered $1,000 
for prizes for a dairy cow contest to be carried on under the 
auspices of the Iowa Experiment Station. The owners of 
dairy cattle in that state vied with each other in securing the 
best cows to be had to enter in this contest. At least $2,500 
is said to have been paid for a cow that finished a long way 
behind the winner. Mr. Marsh entered three cows himself. 




Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656 — 14,562.4 pounds milk, 860.26 pounds fat in one year. 

When the year was ended his cows had produced the three 
largest amounts of butterfat given by any cow in the contest. 
They were Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656, 14,562.4 pounds of 
milk, 860.26 pounds of fat; Jedetta of Pinehurst 17434, 15,109.1 
pounds of milk, 778.8 pounds of fat ; and Glencoe's Bopeep 
18602, 18,121.7 pounds of milk, 622.61 pounds of fat. 

The result of this competition was to greatly advertise 
the Guernseys, and Dairymaid of Pinehurst was in the years 
1910 and 1912 the leading attraction at the National Dairy 
Show. 

In 1909 and 1911 a similar contest was carried on in Wis- 
consin. In two different months a purebred Guernsey led in 
the production of butterfat, and in another month a Guernsey 
grade led. The Guernsey grade cows were the sensation of 



The Guernsey Breed 199 

this contest. Their work will be spoken of in another chap- 
ter. In this contest many excellent records were made with 
purebreds, the best being that of Yeksa Unis 19790, 640.7 
pounds of fat at 4^^ years of age. 

In the Illinois competition, which closed October 1, 1912, 
the Guernseys also made a remarkably good showing. Con- 
trafuria 29090 won third place in. Class A, cow any age, with 
a record of 11,743.2 pounds of milk, containing 534.14 pounds 
of fat. She also won second prize, Class E, cows two to three 
years of age. Her stable mate, Snippy Glenwood 29098, fol- 
lowed her in this class, with a record of 10,549 pounds of milk 
containing 510.59 pounds of fat. 

The prize offered for the largest number of grade cows 
producing over 300 pounds of butterfat in a year was won by 
Joseph Nicholson, of West Brooklyn, whose average for eight 
grade Guernseys was 7,026.6 pounds of milk containing 331.15 
pounds of butterfat. 

These contests greatly stimulated dairy sentiment in the 
beef country. For the first time in some of these states the 
average farmer realized what the production of a real dairy 
cow might be. 

At many other fairs and exhibitions the Guernsey has 
shown herself equal to any rival in the excellence of dairy 
qualities. In the light of present knowledge of the small 
value of short time tests, whether made under favorable home 
conditions or at exhibitions, where changes of feed, water and 
atmosphere make good results unlikely, these tests are un- 
deserving of further mention in this book. 



CHAPTER VIII. 

Show-yard Records 

While the breeders of Guernsey cattle have from the very- 
first been particularly strong advocates of production records 
as the important means of improving their Ijreed, still they 
have always been ready to exhibit the best specimens of the 
breed in competition with their fellow Guernsey breeders at 
leading fairs and exhibitions. 

In the early days the Jersey and the Guernsey were 
shown at both English and American fairs in the same class, 
generally under the name of Alderney or Channel Islands 




Aged Cow I

cattle, but as early as 1870 the secretary of the Royal Agri- 
cultural Society of England recommended that the Guernseys 
be given a class by themselves, and they were first classed 
alone at the exposition of that society in 1871. 

Good showings of Guernseys began to be made at the 
New York State and other leading eastern fairs in. the early 
'80s. The cow Elegante 592 was the sweepstakes winner 
over all Ijreeds at the New York State Fair in 1881, having 
won first prize on Guernsey in 1880 at the Herd Book Show 
and second at the show of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural 
Society in the same year. 

The growth of show-yard interest has steadily increased, 
until now, with the Guernseys third in rank in the number 
of registered animals, they have for the last two or three 
years made the largest exhibits of all breeds at many of the 
leading fairs east and west and at the National Dairy Show. 
It is impossible in a book of this size to give even an approx- 



The Guernsey Breed 201 

imately complete record of the show-yard winnings at the 
state fairs alone, but notice will be taken of some animals 
that are worthy of particular mention. Competition, was not 
keen enough before about 1890 to make the records of partic- 
ular interest, except in the case of one or two shows. 

In 1887 a dairy show was held at the Madison Square 
Garden, New York City. The following is a list of the ex- 
hibitors of Guernseys and the number of animals each showed :

Guernseys had never been seen assembled in the num- 
bers and with the quality exhibited at this show, and at least 
one of the leading agricultural papers pronounced Mr. Shaw's 
exhibit the best of all at the show. The prizes were awarded 
as follows : 

Herd consisting of bull one year old or over, and four 
females, two in milk and two over one year old, of which such 
as were not bred by exhibitor have been his property during 
three months previous to the exhibition — one prize only : 
Francis Shaw, bull, Squire of Larchmont 911 ; females. Dawn 
711, France 2207, Picotte 2d 2218, Jessie of Lester Manor 740.

As early as 1891, 93 Guernseys were exhibited at the New 
York State Fair. The leading exhibitors were Hon. Levi P. 
Morton, with the Ellerslie herd ; F. B. Buckley, Valley Falls, 
and R. A. Borden, Easton, N. Y. 

In 1892, G. Howard Davison, Millbrook, N. Y., began 
showing a herd with great success not only in the east but 



The Guernsey Breed 203 

through the central west, and the next year he easily carried 
off the honors at the World's Fair at Chicago. Portions of 
the Breeders' Gazette's report of that show may be of interest: 

This yellow-skinned' breed of Channel Islands cattle was strongly 
represented in the character of its exhibits, if not in numbers. It is 
an attractive breed in the showyard. Ample size, evidently strong 
constitutions, handsome fawn color with white spots, waxy horns, 
large and well-shaped udders, and the clearly-marked' yellow nose 
eye, ear, and skin unite to make it exceedingly prepossessing in barn, 
pasture, or on dress parade. Exhibitors at the Columbian were as 
follows: Dr. G. Howard Davison, Altamont Farm, Millbrook, N 
Y.; A. J'. Cassatt. Berwyn, Pa.; W. D. Richardson, Garden City 
Minn.; J. N. Greenshields, Danville, Can.; Francis Shaw, Wayland 
Mass.; and N. K. Fairbank, Chicago. F. W. Tratt, Whitewater, 
Wis., judged this section. A word or two concerning the prize win- 
ners may be of interest. 

It was a very excellent half dozen aged bulls which entered the 
arena. They were of good size, unmistakable Guernsey form, and 
outstanding richness of golden color. It was not a difficult task to 
locate the close contestants, for Dr. Davison's Imp. Lord Stranford 
2187, the most famous prize winning bull of the breed, and Mr. Shaw's 
Deputy, which is in service at the Guernsey test barn, were clearly 
at the head of the class and claiming some attention as to the ad- 
justment of their relative claims. Both are magnificent specimens 
of the breed and of an order of excellence rarely met with. Lord 
Stranford was in fine bloom and in conformation, quality, and rich- 
ness he is a grand type of a dairy bull. He is full of the finest 
masculine character, excelling in back quarters and handling quali- 
ties. Position at the head of the class seemed of right to belong to 
him, and we can compliment Deputy no more highly than to say he 
stood a close second. He is admirably fashioned, is full of quality and 
character, and easily takes rank among the high class bulls of the 
breed. Mr. Cassatt's Nonsuch 2701, a bull of very good lines, nicely 
made on back and quarters and showing a soft and pliable hide, had 
third honors, leaving in fourth place Mr. Richardson's Yeksa's Prince 
1943, a bull with much depth of rib, well-turned quarters and much 
Guernsey character. Greenshield's Ontario 743 was fifth and Cassatt's 
Flippant 2201 was sixth. 

A couple of the top cows of the breed confronted the judge, and 
with so closely matched a pair it is perhaps too much to expect a 
unanimity of opinion as to their respective merits. Dr. Davison has 
certainly one of the grand cows of the breed in Purity 2315, and Mr. 
Fairbank can as clearly lay claim to this distinction with Materna 
1334, with whose performances in the Columbian test our readers are 
familiar. She was the only cow shown from the test barn. They 
are much the same style — large, robust, low-set, business-looking, 
with large and well-made udders and' teats fashioned and set for easy 
grasping. They differ materially in one point. Materna is rather 
homely-headed while Purity has a handsome head and a countenance 
full of sweet femininity. Materna has a little larger veins and" we 
understand was on that account put to the front. We should not 
so have placed them. As to conformation, constitution, and milking 
machinery, there is little difference. Whatever of beauty and finish 



204 



The Guernsey Breed 



is added to a cow is distinctly that much to her credit. The cows 
now stand side by side in the Guernsey test barn, for Purity has 
entered the 30-day test, and at present there is little difference in their 
yield's. Visitors to that barn can make their own choice. We fancy 
most of them would choose a herd of Purity's kind. Mr. Cassatt had 
third on Birdie of Berwyn 1894, a deep-ribbed, big-uddered. well- 
veined, workaday cow, sweet and fine enougli. and fourth on Encore 
4585, a wedge-shaped sort bi^ilt all over on dairy lines, but a long time

in lactation. Mr. Richardson was fifth and seventh on Berkshire 
Maid 2130 and Imp. Ophir 2520, and Mr. Davison was sixth with 
Gloriana 3d 2959, a good stamp of a cow, but dry. The list of awards 
follows:

Lord Stranford was sweepstakes bull and Materna was sweep- 
stakes cow. 

Joseph L. Hope began showing" the H. McK. Twombly 
herd in 1895, and for several years was an easy winner at all 
the large Eastern fairs, including what was probably the fin-

est show ever made in the east, the Madison Square Garden 
Live Stock Show of 1896. Here the Guernseys led all other 
breeds two to one. The bull Lord Stranford, that had been, 
shown with such success by Mr. Davison and that had won 
more prizes than any other animal of the breed that ever 
lived, met defeat at this show through his son. Sheet Anchor 
2934. Rutila's Daughter 6670 was grand champion cow. The 
Madison Square Garden Show was continued for only two 
or three years, and the Guernseys were the leading attraction 
at this show each year. 

Good shows of Guernseys began to be made at the Wis- 
consin State Fair as early as 1888, but only two or three herds 
were shown at the most. Commencing with 1896, four or 



206

more herds have been shown practically every year. The 
awards at the Wisconsin State Fair of 1896 will be of inter- 
est, since the four herds shown were those best known in the 
western show rings at that time.

At the Trans-Mississippi Exposition held at Omaha in 
1898, three herds were entered but only two were exhibited, 
those of Geo. C. Hill & Son, Rosendale, Wis., and James B. 
Duke, Somerville, N. J., the former winning most of the first 
prizes. This show was of course too far west at that time for 
many attending people to be interested in the dairy cattle. 

An especially good show was held at the Wisconsin State 
Fair in 1901. 

A fine showing was made at the Pan-American Exposition

Coralette's Son 3987 — second prize, i.uuisiaii.i I'monasi.- i-,xiiosuion, iyu4. 

Commencing with the year 1896 to 1898 good showings 
of the breed began to be made at all the leading state fairs, 
especially good ones other than those already named being 
the Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and New Jersey fairs. 

At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held at St. Louis 
in 1904, the Guernsey exhibition was the best ever assembled 
up to that time. The Breeders' Gazette, commenting on that 
show, said : 

It was a display of Guernsey character and quality calculated' to 
make friends for that popular dairy breed. The exhibit was represen- 
tative in excellence and numerical standing. It was the superior of 
anything of the kind that has preceded it in this country. Uni- 
formity characterized the show. All sections were well filled with 
uniformly high-class showyard contestants. Only a few sub-standard 
entries were seen. Considering the number of animals shown, it 
must pass as a strong compliment that the percentage of inferior ma- 
terial was so small. It was evident from this admirable exhibit that 
American breeders of Guernseys are striving for a common type, a 
common standard" of excellence, a dairy breed of the highest efh- 
ciency, and it is a pleasure to record this impression. The exhibit 
revealed in convincing fashion the improvement in form effected in 
this refined race of dairy stock since the Columbian. It reflected a 
unity of purpose and aim on the part of the men who are bringing 
this breed to a splendid state of development and usefulness. It was 
illustrative of great achievement and rich in promise of future prog- 
ress. 

Here some of the best known Guernseys from the East and 
West were shown, and the first prize bull. Prince Rosendale 4291,

Many other fine exhibitions of Guernseys were made at 
the dififerent state fairs east and west and at Brockton, Fram- 
ingham. and Mt. Kisco in the east, mention of which cannot 
be included for lack of space. But since the leading breeders 
of the country usually meet in competition at the National 
Dairy Show, which will be more and more the court of final 
judgment for show awards, there is included a report of the 
winnings of that show, from the first show held in 1906 up 
to and including the one of 1914. 

The first National Dairy Show was held at the Chicago 
Coliseum, February 15 to 24, 1906. Three herds of Guern- 
seys were shown, those of M. D. Cunningham, J. G. Hickcox, 
and Granger Farwell. Mr. Cunningham carried ofif first in 
aged bulls with Robiana's Standard 7254, and first in aged 
cows with Gertrude Kelly 13709. The judging was done by 
Dr. M. B. Wood, of Mankato. Minn. 

The second show was held October 9 to 19, 1907, at the 
International Amphitheatre, and over 150 Guernseys were 
shown, the largest number of any breed. The judging was 
done by G. B. Tallmann, Fayetteville, N. Y., and the awards

The exhibit of Guernseys at the 1914 Dairy Show was 
better than ever before, and cattle representing 15 herds, from 
eight different states, were shown. 

The outbreak of foot and mouth disease that caused the 
quarantining of the cattle in the show barns was most un- 
fortunate, but admirers of the breed should be grateful that 
the cattle there were practically all saved. A few animals 
were lost, from various causes, the most notable being Jessy 
Rose 10th. 

The awards at this show were made by Will Forbes, 
assistant in Dairy Division, Department of Agriculture, 
Washington, D. C., and were as follows :

With shows of the size and character of the National 
Dairy Show it is difficult to secure men who are competent 
to judge and who will consent to do the work, and some dis- 
satisfaction is bound to arise. The Guernsey breeders have 
been very patient, loyal and united with the one purpose of 
showing the Guernsey to the public in the most winning man- 
ner possible, whenever opportunity has been presented. The 
day has gone by when men will attempt to judge as to capac- 
ity for dairy production between cows in the show ring. 
Shows are looked upon as splendid opportunities to acquaint 
new people with the breed, and as a means of securing more 
uniformity of type in the breed. 

The exhibit of Guernseys at the Panama-Pacific Exposi- 
tion at San Francisco was of a very high order of excellence, 
but would doubtless have been much better if quarantine reg- 
ulations had not shut out all cattle from east of the Rocky 
Mountains. The number of Guernseys entered for the show 
was greater than the entries for any other breed of cattle. 

The judging was done by Charles L. Hill, of Rosendale, 
Wis., and the awards were as follows :

1st Imp. Itchen May King 25174 — Edgemoor Farm, Santee, Cal.

CHAPTER IX. 

The Color of Guernsey Milk 

One of the points of superiority of the Guernsey cow 
that first attracted the American dairyman to her was the 
very yellow color of her milk and butter. Practically every 
early mention of her, whether on the Island or in this coun- 
try, calls attention to this trait of the breed. Many of these 
references have been quoted in Chapter II. But there is no 
reference whatever as to why or how this characteristic be- 
came fixed. It must have been the result of generations of 
painstaking breeding on the part of all the early breeders of 
the Island, but nothing is left to show who first conceived 
the idea or how concerted action with this thought in view 
was obtained. I doubt if there is a characteristic of any other 
breed of livestock so pronounced as this, of which so little is 
known of its history that might be of great value in the study 
of the subject of breeding. We must content ourselves with 
the knowledge that the Guernsey possesses this characteristic 
and that it is a very much more valuable quality than even 
the breeders of Guernseys appreciate. 

In the present day striving for large Advanced Register 
records and for individual beauty as well, color of product is 
too often lost sight of; and if any word of advice to breeders 
of today is worthy of consideration, it is urging them to care- 
fully conserve and promote this distinctive characteristic of 
the Guernsey cow. 

While the artificial coloring of butter is lawful in all of 
the states of the union and almost universally practiced, the 
artificial coloring of milk and cream for market purposes is 
forbidden by law in nearly all, if not all, of the states. 

Whenever a breeder of Guernseys, whether purebred or 
grade, starts a milk business in any city and sells milk in com- 
petition with that of other breeds, if he furnishes a good clean, 
article, he has at once a demand greater than his supply and 
at a price 3 to 5c or even more per quart above that secured 
by his competitors for milk produced with the same care. 
Instances without number can be given of towns where milk 
had never sold above 5 or 6c per quart, but where Guernsey 
milk placed on the market at 10c per quart sold more readily 
than the other at lower prices. 

The large dairy companies of the great cities are now 
scouring the country for Guernsey milk and more especially 



242 



The Guernsey Breed 



for Guernsey cream to supply to their customers for table 
use. Many of the great city hotels now have for table use 
Guernsey milk and cream either from farms of their own or 
purchased from the producer. 

A corporation owning three of the largest hotels in 
Boston has a farm in, New Hampshire where milk and cream 
and butter are produced for their hotels ; and in a booklet 
describing the farm and its products, they say that the Guern- 
sey milk and cream are reserved for table use on account of 
their color, while the product of the other breeds is made 
into butter, since artificial color may be used to bring the 
color up to the required standard. 

The best opportunity ever afforded to study the question 
of the color of the milk and butter of dififerent breeds was 
that offered by the "model dairy" at the Pan-American Ex- 
position in Buffalo in 1901. A record of this work is given 
in this book in the chapter on "Guernseys in Public Tests." 

C. L. Fitch, now of Greeley, Colo., carried out some very 
interesting experiments while superintendent of the Hoard 
creameries at Fort Atkinson, Wis., to determine the amount 
of color the cow puts into the butter. It is best to let him 
explain it in his own words : 

"The cows and the sunshine and the feed put some coloring 
matter into the butter, and buttermakers add' enough to bring up the 
total to the most desirable shade of butter in June. 

"Now, by a simple method it is possible, without separate churn- 
ings of uncolored butter, to tell what amount of color in terms of the 
artificial color the cows are supplying. Knowing this amount, the 
differences can easily be added to any churning to produce any de- 
sired shade or various shades desired, or uniform color can be ob- 
tained from the differing natural colored cream. This is what Major 
Alvord called 'the solution of the butter coloring question.' The 
natural method is demonstrated by the writer. 




Natural method butter coloring system. 

"The apparatus is a hardwood case, having seven half ounces in 
tin boxes set into holes in the lower half, with a hollow cover carry- 
ing a label with directions, and the amount of color in each shade 
sample per 100 pounds. The shades run from pure white in No. 00 



The Guernsey Breed 243 

to the limit of color depth in No. 6, a deep orange, containing 150 cc. 
(cubic centimeters) of Wells & Richardson's Improved to 100 pounds 
of pure white base. This gives us six shades with a common differ- 
ence of 25 cc. of color per 100 pounds per shade. The inside of the 
standard case should be enameled white. The samples show better 
against a white background. Lead paint turns yellow. Zinc white 
enamel does not. Take a trier sample of yesterday's butter, and pick 
of? a bit on a knife and run along the shades and find its place. 

"Suppose it to be winter and it is exactly No. 4, and that 50 cc. 
of Wells & Richardson's Improved were used. No. 4 contains 100 
cc. of color per 100 pound's of white. If 50 cc. were used the cows 
must have supplied the rest or 50 cc. per hundredweight; or the nat- 
ural color would be found by actual trial to be No. 2. So no shade 
lower than No. 2 can be made. There is no practical way to bleach 
butter. It can be done chemically, by long washing in separators, or 
by storage, neither of which is practical. No order can be filled' for 
a lower color than the cream or process stock contains. 

"But to return. We had No. 2 natural shade, 50 cc. value. To 
get No. 3 we would add 25 cc. per hundred pounds of butter. An 
addition of 75 cc. would give us No. 5, etc. This is the whole plan of 
use. 

"To obtain uniform color in varying factories of a line of cream- 
eries figure similarly, and this is the largest usefulness for this 
method. For several years I have seen butter from seven plants 
come in daily as like in color by this method as if one churning. 
Where No. 4 butter is the shade wanted, factory A, where the nat- 
ural color was running No. 2 or 50 cc, would color at the rate of 50 
cc. per hundredweight; and factory B, where feed and breed were 
different and the natural color was above No. 3, say 85 cc, would use 
but 15 cc. per hundredweight to have its butter match the standard 
shade for the line. No really up-to-date maker will color per thousand 
of milk or gallons of cream, or salt either; the proper basis is always 
the pounds of butter estimated to be in hand. And cubic centimeter 
graduates and calculations are far better than ounces and fractions. 
One ounce equals a little less than 30 cc. 

"To prepare the standard shades, put away in the absolute dark- 
ness of a box in a cold storage room that doesn't freeze, or a cellar, 
several sealed bottles of Wells & Richardson's Improved color. 

"These bottles will provide standards for years. Next get a box 
of droppers from your druggist and find one that will drop exactly 
50 drops of the color at 60 degrees F. to each cubic centimeter. Each 
drop of this size equals in 40 grams of material, 25 cc. in 100 pounds 
of butter. (No. 1 will be one drop; No. 2, two drops, etc., to each 40 
grams.) Use pure white mutton stock for the base, and work in a 
hot room, and have the stock soft, so that it can be worked up with 
a spatula or thin case knife on a smooth or waxed board. In a line 
of creameries, two sets of cases can be provided, or a set of cans may 
be used and the standard boxes refilled at each plant. The shades 
must be renewed monthly or oftener, and should be kept in a clean, 
dry place of moderate temperature. Do not smooth the surface of the 
color boxes; leave as cut off with the edge of the knife. 

"Mutton stock is made by all large packers, and is largely ex- 
ported to Holland, where it is used in oleo factories. The packers 
will make up 200 pounds at a time for about 7c a pound and freight, 



244 The Guernsey Breed 

and we once had such a lot made. This is unnecessary, however, if 
one can get in touch with the foreman of a packer's oleo oil plant. 
He will usually have part barrels on hand, and will be glad to get 
his office to sell you a few pounds. If unable to obtain pure white, 
use lard in making up a sample or two, and then make an estimate 
of the color of the stock and reckon accordingly. It will be useless 
to try any other substance for the standard medium. I believe I 
have tried butter and rejected it as too soft and apt to melt and so 
spoil the shades. I have tried white vaseline, lard and lanoline and 
rejected them as too soft and liable to incorporate so much air in 
mixing as to make the shade inaccurate. I have used tallows of 
various kinds and mixtures and beeswax, and rejected them as too 
hard and too shiny. Paraffin, stearine, ozokerite and other waxes are 
too translucent or too variable in the way they crystallize, varying 
thus in white lines and so in color. No printer will promise inks to 
be permanent enough to pay. Glass prisms such as doctors use in 
a beautiful little instrument to measure the redness of blood are not 
within reach, nor made in orange. 

"Ten cc. per hundredweight of butter is as small a variation as 
most eyes can detect (one-third ounce of color), so it is no use to 
vary one way or the other, in making a change, less than 10 cc. per 
hundredweight. 

"Salt influences color to the extent of a whole shade or more. 
Time is a factor in this matter with salted butter. Generally, between 
butter 24 hours old and fresh salted butter, a half shade will cover 
the d'iflference. It is well not to use butter the day of churning for 
color determination. Working against a dry or poorly soaked churn 
or worker, overworking, or churning very warm, affects the color of 
butter greatly by incorporating large amounts of air, or sometimes 
of buttermilk, and should not be done, as it is in every way harmful. 

"The natural method color measurements made possible some 
interesting studies along this line, which may be added. In the mid- 
dle west, the native or Durham mixed cows run up in June to about 
the same color as did the thoroughbred Jerseys at Burchard farm. 
Shade three or three and one-half, 75 to 85 cc. per hundredweight of 
white. The same cows in winter go lower than do the Jerseys. 
Guernsey cows' butter runs as high naturally as No. 6, and is often 
too highly colored to be accepted by the buyer as without artificial 
color. Guernsey butter color is of a different quality also, it is old 
gold rather than orange, with suggestions of lemon and' orange. No 
breed can compete with them in rich colored cream and milk. This 
difference continues throughout the year, as natural color gradually 
declines during the fall and winter; those cows that gave the highest 
color in summer keep their lead all the year. The color gets to its 
lowest point before another pasture season. . 

"Sunshine, ensilage, light and alfalfa hay do much to maintain 
color in milk and butter. In Colorado sunshine with Colorado feeds, 
with Jersey and Guernsey cows, it is never necessary to use artificial 
butter color to obtain attractive butter. 

"The following table of churning experiments by the author in 
Wisconsin in 1899 and 1900 is of interest along these lines, and I be- 
lieve the color values shown to be typical of the breeds as a whole:

"The fall drop in a line of Wisconsin creameries does not go 
below No. 2 until the ground hog days, and then it is a long time 
going down towards No. 1. The whitest butter is produced' and most 
artificial color is used in the spring just before sunshine and pastur- 
age commence, and then the gain in color does not come all at once." 

Mr. Fitch, in writing me at the time the above Guernsey 
sample was sent, March 15th, 1900, said: 

"The color has fallen to 2j/2 on the scale, and this would just suit 
me, as it is for table use. It is as high a color as could be sold in 
Manchester, England." 

In judging of the color of milk, it must be remembered 
that the color value of Guernseys giving 5 per cent milk 
would be increased as compared with 3 per cent Holstein milk 
by the factor of 5/3 over the table color values of butter; 
whereas for cream of the same richness, the comparative color 
values would be as stated for butter. Thus Holstein milk 
might often have less than one-fourth the color of Guernsey 
milk. 

James M. Codman, of Brookline, Mass., who visited the 
Island in 1871, and made an importation at that time, more 
than any other person has called attention of the breeders 
to the value of this breed characteristic, and the results ob- 



246 The Guernsey Breed 

tained in his own herd would indicate that this characteristic 
can be intensified by breeding. The butter from his herd is 
yellower than that from any herd I have ever seen, with pos- 
sibly one exception. 

As this book goes to press, The American Guernsey Cat- 
tle Club is carrying on some experiments in connection with 
some experiment stations in an endeavor to determine, if pos- 
sible, the connection between the color of the animal, as mani- 
fested by the secretions in the ears, on the end of the tail, on 
the teats and udder, at nose, and on body generally, and the 
color of the product, and it is to be hoped that these experi- 
ments will bring results that will make it possible to still 
further intensify this breed characteristic. 



CHAPTER X. 

The Guernsey in England 

It is evident from the quotation in Chapter II from 
Youatt's "Cattle" that the Guernseys have been known and 
appreciated in England for one hundred years or more; but 
there was no organization of the English breeders to form a 
Herd Book until 1885, when The English Guernsey Cattle 
Society was formed. G. Neville Wyatt was the first secretary, 
and the first volume of the Herd Book was issued in 1885, in 
which were registered 306 females and 74 bulls. 

An examination of the entries of this first volume shows 
that Cowslip 60 was the oldest cow registered, being dropped 
in the year 1869. Her sire and dam were imported from 
Guernsey. She was bred in England by Lord Falmouth. But 
I find that the cow Cissus I 50, bred August 10, 1877, goes 
back four generations on her dam's side, as her pedigree 
indicates, and two on her sire's side, so that this would indi- 
cate that some of the foundation stock had been imported 
much earlier. 

From the preface of the first volume of the Herd Book, 
it is quite evident that the English breeder was not only plan- 
ning to preserve the purity of the breed for his own satisfac- 
tion but also that he might capture a portion of the American 
trade. This is evidenced by the following quotation : 

"It is clear that American buyers, for instance, cannot 
afford to incur the expenses and run the risks of carrying 
cattle across the Atlantic unless they are in a position to 
obtain very high prices indeed at the end of the voyage. And 
it is equally clear that those high prices will only be forth- 
coming for animals whose purity of origin is demonstrable. 
Certainty of pedigree must come in support of the promise 
of intrinsic value, and this combination once achieved there 
is no reason whatever why English Guernsey blood should 
not become as fashionable as that of the best known Island 
herds. Indeed, it is possible that foreign buyers may event- 
ually prefer our cattle, for there is a growing opinion, prob- 
ably well founded, of their superior hardiness." 

Rule five of their Society was : 

"No animal shall be eligible for the English Guernsey 
Herd Book that cannot trace back its pedigree on both sire's 
and dam's sides to imported stock." To them this rule evi- 
dently meant animals from any one of the Islands, and while 



248 



The Guernsey Breed 



I do not find any animal in Volume I that is given as Alder- 
ney bred, they very early accepted animals from Alderney. 
Because of this fact, they very early had the advantage of the 
American buyer, who could not buy the Alderney-bred cattle 
either on that island or in Guernsey. The Guernsey has 
apparently never been as popular in England as the Jersey, 
but it is evident from the number of animals imported and 
recorded in recent years that the interest is steadily increas- 
ing, which is to be expected because the hopes expressed in 
the preface have been realized in the last few years. Many 
Guernseys have been brought to the United States from Eng- 
land, some of them Island bred but many of them English 
bred.

in the dairy production of their cows, and persons who know 
Mr. Lennard state that he always had an enthusiastic inter- 
est in his herd. 

"I may say that all the cows and heifers I have are 
descended from one cow imported by Mr. Fowler of Bushey, 
which I bought in 1870, Lady No. 1, No. 170 English Guern-

"She was a regular breeder; her milk varied from six- 
teen to eighteen quarts a day, which produced from 2 pounds 
to 2 pounds 9 ounces of butter, according to the season."

It was the author's privilege to visit this farm in 1913. 
The present Sir Henry Lennard is very much interested in 
his herd, which is composed largely of the descendants of 
this same Lady family. 

J. Boyd Kinnear, M. P., for years maintained a very 
choice herd at Collessie, Scotland, and he published the fol- 
lowing report of the milk yield of his herd for the years 1895, 
1896 and 1897:

The English breeders have persistently entered their 
cattle in the milking trials at the annual shows, and up to 
1912 this, with their prize winning, had been the only means 
of judging of the character of their animals. In 1912 they 
adoptecl the following set of rules governing their tests for 
yearly milk and fat records, which rules are much like those 
adopted for the Advanced Register in the United States. The 
same requirements for admission prevail, but Rule 6 provides 
that "No record can be accepted unless the cow is safely in 
calf within five months from the date the record commenced." 

1. Any animal the property of a member of the English Guern- 
sey Cattle Society entered in their Herd' Book is eligible for the test. 

2. The record, which is to be for a lactation period not exceeding 
365 days, shall consist of a daily record of milk production to be kept 
by the owner on a form supplied by the Secretary of the Society, 
which shall be checked at least every two months during the lacta- 
tion period by the Ofificial Inspector of the Society, who shall at each 
visit take a sample of each animal's milk and test the same for butter- 
fat by the Gerber Tester. 

3. The cows shall be milked the same number of times on the 
day of the test as they have been previously, but the number of milk- 
ings must not exceed three. 

4. All cows must have calved at least seven days before the 
commencement of the test or record. No allowance can be made for 
milk taken by suckling calves after that period. 

5. The records may commence at any time, but notice must be 



The Guernsey Breed 2fl 

given to the Secretary within seven days after the record has com- 
menced, to give due time for the arrangement of the Inspector's visit. 

6. No record can be accepted unless the cow is safely in calf 
within five months from the date of the record commenced. 

7. Should the owner or the Inspector be dissatisfied with the 
milk record or butterfat test at the time of the Inspector's visit, an 
extra visit may be made at the owner's expense. 

8. The Inspector shall not be required to give more than one 
day's notice of his visit. 

9. In order to place heifers and' young cows on an equal basis 
with mature cows, an animal commencing her record at two years old 
or under shall be required to produce within the lactation period 
6,000 pounds of milk or 250.5 pound's of butterfat. For each day the 
animal is over two years 3.65 pounds of milk and one-tenth of a 
pound of butterfat shall be added; this ratio to continue until the 
animal is 5 years old, when the required amount will have reached 
10,000 pounds of milk or 360 pounds of butterfat. 

10. All cows must be in view of the Inspector when being 
milked, and not more than ten cows shall be tested from one herd in 
one day. 

11. The owner will be required to pay half the expenses of each 
visit, the moiety due to the Society will be collected by the Secre- 
tary after the third visit of the Inspector. 

12. Should any questions or dispute arise not provided for in 
the foregoing rules, the decision of the Sub-Committee shall be final. 

It is seen that the owner keeps daily milk records as with 
the American test, but according to Rule 2 an inspector must 
visit the farm at least every two months, while monthly visits 
are required in the case of American records. The results of 
these tests to date follow :

CHAPTER XI. 

The Guernsey in Other Countries 

The exportation of Guernsey cattle to countries other 
than the United States and Great Britain has been very lim- 
ited, with the single exception of Australia. A few animals 
have gone to France, Cuba, Central America, Brazil and scat- 
tering- animals to other countries. 

In 1888, the Sapporo Agricultural College, Sapporo, 
Japan, imported from the United States two bulls and twenty 
heifers, selected in twos or threes from each of a number of 
prominent herds in this country. This was before the dis- 
covery of the tuberculin test, and unfortunately some of these 
animals had tuberculosis, which eventually destroyed the 
whole herd and put an end to Guernsey business in Japan. 

The Guernsey has, however, made great strides in Aus- 
tralia, as the following quotation from the book, "Dairying 
in Australasia," by M. A. O'Callaghan, testifies : 

From the day on which the first importation of Guernsey cattle 
was landed in Sydney by the New South Wales Government in 1898, 
the breed has grown in popularity until at the present time they are 
the most sought after of any of the dairy breeds by farmers who 
wish to introduce new blood into their herds. In every district in 
New South Wales in which the breed has been tried, they have given 
almost universal satisfaction. Of course, when I state this, I mean 
that the animals which have been used for the purpose of crossing 
with the ordinary half-bred cattle, have produced offspring which 
have more than come up to the expectations of the farmers who 
bred them. No doubt a great deal of this almost abnormal success 
of a new breed (because this is the first occasion on which there is 
any authentic record of Guernseys having been introduced into Aus- 
tralia) was due to the excellent selection which the purchasing agents 
had managed to secure. Two of the bulls imported were undoubtedly 
of very high class. These two sires, namely, Peter and Rose Prince, 
have left some excellent half-bred and purebred progeny in the State 
of New South Wales. They were two bulls of great difference in type. 
Peter was a little bit on the coarse side, showing that virile character 
which many of the best judges prefer to see in their sires, no matter 
what the animal is that they are desirous of breeding. Rose Prince 
on the other hand was all quality: he stood out as an almost ideal 
type of dairy hull combined with show ring requirements. Mascu- 
linity was well represented without any indication of coarseness, and 
he possessed all those characteristics which Guernsey fanciers like 
so much. His type was so distinct that I can pick out his progeny 
today from those of any other family of Guernseys. This is notice- 
able even in his half-breds. They possess great length, quality and 
\;haracter, and whereas Peter has proved himself a wonderful animal 
in the way of begetting heavy milk-yielding females from cross-bred 
cows, Rose Prince has made his reputation more as a sire of bulls. 



The Guernsey Breed 257 

Not that he has not left some excellent females to represent him, 
but his males were so stamped with his characteristics that they have 
continued his type in a marked degree in their progeny. This is 
evidenced by the descendants of the bull Calm Prince, an animal that 
followed his sire and Peter at the New South Wales Government 
Stud. The portraits of Rose Prince and Calm Prince are reproduced 
herewith so that Guernsey breeders in future may have an oppor- 
tunity of looking up the type of sires from which Guernsey cattle in 
Australia, practically speaking, have sprung. Peter was used more 
for mating with other breeds of cattle than for the production of 
purebred Guernseys. This was owing to the fact that at the farm 
where he was first placed there were only a couple of purebred Guern- 
sey cows kept. His records are best seen in the chapter dealing with 
experimental work in the breeding of dairy cattle. Referring to the 
females imported in 1898, five out of the six were excellent cows, and 
it was difficult to say whether Calm, Vivid, Lady Blanche, or Flaxy 
was the best animal. Unfortunately Lady Blanche died soon after 
her introduction, and has left as a consequence no representatives, 
but the other three have left excellent specimens, both male and 
female, and that beautiful cow, Rose Vivid by Rose Prince from Vivid, 
is probably one of the handsomest types of dairy cows of a Guernsey 
strain that it is possible to find. She has all the qualities of the Rose 
Prince strain, and all the dairy characteristics of her mother. 

Guernseys got a foothold first in the Richmond River district 
of New South Wales, probably because there was no prejudice in 
that new and progressive place, and hence those farmers who were 
anxious to improve their herds gave the breed a trial. The Guernsey 
bull Peter was stationed there, and his results were so successful that 
the breed at once 'became sought after, until now the enquiries for 
young bulls of the breed are very much greater than the supply. 
The publication of the results of experiments carried out at the Wol- 
longbar State Farm has caused a further impetus to be given to this 
breed, and now enquiries come in daily from all corners of New South 
Wales asking for information as to where both male and female 
Guernseys may be obtained. In fact, at the present time a number 
of farmers have placed orders with the Government of New South 
Wales for the importation of animals of this breed from England. 
This is not a small matter when it is remembered that it costs at 
least about £100 per head to land specimens of the breed in Australia. 
The New South Wales Government made a second importation of 
20 females in 1907, and though these on the whole were not so hig-h 
class as the first specimens introduced^ still a number of them are 
sufficiently representative of the best of the breed to give very good 
results. 

Easily Acclimatized. 

The animals readily acclimatized themselves in those dairying 
portions of the State which show great difference in climate and 
soils. I refer to the South Coast and North Coast districts of New 
South Wales, where we have placed imported cows and hulls. As 
most of my readers are aware, the Richmond and Tweeds districts 
on the North Coast have a very heavy annual rainfall coupled with 
an almost tropical heat, and the land is mainly of a rich volcanic 
character. On the South Coast, however, the land, generally speak- 
ing, is not so rich and the extremes in temperature are very consider- 



258 The Guernsey Breed 

able. Very cold winters are experienced and also warm summers, 
so that the breed has shown great adaptability to different climates 
and soils, and this, no doubt, will serve as a very important factor 
in the future welfare of the breed in Australia. 

Recent Importations. 

The year 1910 has been a noted one in the Guernsey world, as 
far as Australia is concerned. At least three new herds have been 
founded, and all by men who demand only the best. 

Mr. Anthony Hordern, who has a place at Wilton Park, Picton, 
imported several of the breed, at the same time that his brother im- 
ported Jerseys and Ayrshires. 

Mr. J. W. Gillespie, who has a country place near Inverell, im- 
ported four females and a bull brought from the best herds in Eng- 
land, while Mr. A. R. T. Payne, of Melbourne, who has a country 
house at Lilydale, Victoria, imported seven cows and a bull, and Mr. 
W. S. Ruddick, V. S., imported a couple of cows. 

In addition to these importations made last year, a number of 
Guernseys were landed in Sydney early in March of this year, the im- 
porters being the Agricultural Department of New South Wales, who 
brought six bulls and four cows; Mrs. Mabel Dawson, of Berry, who 
brought four females: and Mr. Norticott of Lismore, who brought 
two females and a bull. Mr. Hugh H. Dension, of Sydney, has also 
added Guernseys to the dairy breeds already on his Eumaralla Estate, 
Gulgong, New South Wales, and has imported three young cows, 
securing at the same time from Mr. Payne of Lilydale a very fine 
young bull that was imported to Australia in his mother, but which 
has since unfortunately died of accidental poisoning. 

There has also been a small Guernsey importation made into 
Queensland, two cows and a bull having been introduced by Mr. E. 
S. Webster, of Landsborough. Breeders of dairy cattle in Australia 
will, therefore, have a very much wider field from which to select 
Guernsey bulls for use in their ordinary herds than has been the case 
heretofore, when it was only the New South Wales Government and 
one or two private breeders, such as Mr. Dixon Cooke, of Alston- 
ville, and Messrs. Kinross Brothers, of Jamberoo, who bred pure 
Guernseys in Australia. 

Nearly all the Guernseys imported into Australia have 
come from England, as Mr. O'Callaghan's book shows, and 
included among- them are such well-known prize winners as 
Hayes Coronation III 1936, E. G. H. B., that was first in his 
class and champion at the English Royal Show in 1910 and 
also at the Bath and West England Show, besides taking 
numerous prizes at all of the great shows ; and Hayes Cherub, 
also first in his class at the English Royal and the Bath and 
West England in 1910. In 1911, the bull Ajax of Sarnia 
17793 was sent to E. P. Perry, Parkville, New South Wales, 
and Mr. O'Callaghan states that this is the first Guernsey 
imported into Australia from the United States. He won 
first prize at the Royal Show at Sydney in 1912, 1913 and

1914. Three heifers from the Island also were sent to Aus- 
tralia that same year and in 1913 another lot of seven. 

The Government of New South Wales made the first im- 
portation, as stated above, in 1898, which included three bulls 
and six cows ; and the second importation, in 1907, was of 
twenty cows and heifers, several of this lot coming direct 
from the Islands. The third importation, in 1911, was of six 
cows and six bulls. Some very interesting experiments have 
been carried on at the Government station at Wollongbar. 

It would prove very interesting indeed if place could be 
given in this book to all the records of these breeding exper- 
iments, but the results of only two or three of them can be 
quoted. The cow Bella, a purebred Shorthorn, made the 
following records at the station : 

Second calf 3,600 pounds milk in 216 days 

Third calf 4,120 pounds milk in 206 days 

Fourth calf 3,950 pounds milk in 212 days 

Her daughter Pebbles, sired by the Guernsey bull Peter, 
made the following records :

Second calf 6,720 345 329 

Third calf 8.720 401 389

One other instance is worthy of particular nc^tice and 



260 The Guernsey Breed 

this was the purebred dairy Shorthorn cow, Lady Dora, im- 
ported from England. Her records were as follow : 

Number of Pounds Pounds Number

Fourth calf 3.120 

Fifth calf 9,560 416 265 

Sixth calf 8,406 346 275

Eighth calf 6,476 251 332 

Ninth calf 5,902 225 296 

Tenth calf 3,826 137 208 

Lady Dora produced two heifers by imported English- 
bred dairy Shorthorn bulls, one of which died before having 
a calf but looked very promising. The record of the next 
one. Lady Dora II, is given herewith : 

Number of Pounds Pounds Number 

lactation milk butter of days 

First calf 1,893 82 190 

Second calf 1,994 84 207 

Third calf 2,803 118 211 

At the next calving she had twins, a bull and a heifer, 
the heifer proving a freemartin. The next daughter was 
Doreen, sired by the Guernsey bull Peter, and her records 
follow : 

Number of Pounds Pounds Number

First calf 6,103 280 299 

Second calf 13,627 651 597 

Third calf 7,105 295 258 

Fourth calf 7,776 279 280 

Fifth calf 8,243 407 262 

Another instance was that of the imported English-bred 
Shorthorn cow, Honey 110th, with records as follows: 

Number of Pounds Pounds Number 

lactation milk butter of days 

Third calf 5,950 ... 210 

Fourth calf — no authentic record. 

Fifth calf 5,327 225 220 

Sixth calf 4,960 210 292 

Seventh calf 5,382 234 241 

Eighth calf 4,324 193 281 

Her daughter. Honey Dew, by the imported English- 
bred Shorthorn bull, Cornish Boy, produced as follows : 

Number ot Pounds Pounds Number

First calf 3,348 153 258 

Second calf 4,101 170 317 

Honey 110th was then bred to the Guernsey bull Peter, 
and the progeny was the cow Honey Suckle, and her records 
are as follows : 

Number of Pounds Pounds Number

First calf 4,765 390 311

heifer calf, and she probably carried some Jersey blood as 
well as Shorthorn.

The summary goes on to say that, as far as the records 
go, the Guernsey has produced the best results of all the dairy 
breeds used in the crosses. More work has been done with 
the Guernsey than with the other breeds but some work was 
done with all four of the leading dairy breeds. 

Recently some semi-official yearly testing has been done 
in Australia with the following results :

Even better records are being made this year. 

I tried to get a few pictures of prize Guernseys in Aus- 
tralia but the war censor held them up. Treng-wainton 
Acorn 62, A., that was champion in 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 
1914, a son of the great English show cow, Hayes Olive, is 
particularly choice. 

It would seem that if better transportation facilities to 
Australia were available, American breeders might expect to 
find a very good market for Guernseys there. 



CHAPTER XII. 

The Guernsey Grade Cow 

There is in every city a constantly increasing demand for 
high-class milk, and by this is meant milk that combines clean- 
liness, yellow color, and high content of fat and total solids. 
This demand is apart from the demand for certified milk, 
which depends almost entirely upon its cleanliness for its 
market. 

There are now hundreds of cities in this country where 
first grade milk is selling for eight, 10 and even 12c per quart, 
and produced under conditions that are no better than ought 
to prevail on every dairy farm. A large part of the milk that 
sells for these prices is produced by herds of purebred or grade 
Guernsey cows. 

While the number of herds of purebred Guernseys is con- 
stantly increasing, it will be a century or more before the 
number of purebred animals can have increased sufiiciently 
to fill the demand for cows for this use, and it will be in- 
finitely longer before this will be done. The bulk of the 
farmers who desire an efficient cow must therefore depend on 
the grade Guernsey to get her. 

The leading characteristics of the Guernsey grade are, 
of course, essentially the same as of her full-blood sister. She 
is first of all unusually quiet and gentle and therefore less ex- 
cited by strangers or strange conditions than a more nervous 
cow. This point is worthy of more attention than it usually 
receives. She is quite invariably an easy milker, having al- 
most ideal teats. She is of a size (weighing 1,000 to 1,200 
pounds) that at once appeals to the dairyman ; and while of 
much less importance than her other characteristics, still she 
is universally liked on account of her size. 

The Guernsey has so often proved herself the most eco- 
nomical producer of butterfat that it seems unnecessary to 
write upon this point, but if prospective dairymen who are 
debating which breed to select would study this point of eco- 
nomical production as much as it deserves, they would turn 
to the Guernsey in even greater numbers than at present. In 
the hurry to get a big production of milk its quality and cost 
of production are too often overlooked. The grade Guernsey 
cow will test for the year 3.5 to 5.5 per cent, varying, of course, 
with different individuals, and it is safe to say that her milk 



The Guernsey Breed 265 

will averag-e 4.5 per cent butterfat, taking the yearly average 
of different herds. 

The official yearly records of over 4,500 purebred Guern- 
sey cows show that the milk averages about 5 per cent butter- 
fat; and as the Guernsey grades of the country are largely 
of Shorthorn, Jersey, or native foundation the estimate of 4.5 
per cent is likely below rather than above their average. 

This would indicate a total solid content of about 14 per 
cent, milk plenty rich enough for ordinary use and very much 
superior in quality to ordinary milk. But the most convincing 
arguments in favor of the Guernseys are the comments of 
those who have had her in their dairies. 

Thomas Ellis, Marquette, Wisconsin, writing under date 
of February 22, 1910, said : "The Guernseys have been very 
satisfactory with me; we milked 11 last year, four of them 
being but two-year-olds, and they averaged us $117.24 each. 
They are doing far better than any other cows in this com- 
munity, and a number of the farmers are getting interested, 
and would change to Guernsey if they could buy. I regret 
now that I did not begin with them at an earlier date. I re- 
ceived $106.46 from our local creamery in January, 1910, for 
the milk of eight cows." 

M. L. Welles, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, whose herd was 
in 1909 about half purebreds and half grades, tells me that 
from his herd of cows averaging thirty-nine and one-half in 
number for the year he received $4,109 for a year's cream de- 
livered at the railroad station, a very profitable return for so 
large a herd. 

The following is from a little circular, "Just a Little His- 
tory," issued by Lloyd Rundell, Roberts, Wisconsin. "The 
first purebred Guernsey bull calf born on the World's Fair 
grounds in Chicago in 1893 was bought by A. E. Rundell, of 
Livingston, Wisconsin. Nor was this his first purebred Guern- 
sey bull. He had decided to go into the dairy business, and 
it did not take him long to get on the 'main track.' He had 
built a 150-ton silo in 1892, and had owned a Babcock tester 
for several years. He installed the King system of ventila- 
tion in his barn in 1894. 

"During the winter of 1888 his herd of grade Shorthorns 
averaged one-half pound of butter per day. They were of 
the 'dual purpose' variety — the 'Jim' Hill type, the Shaw 
kind — good for his children to learn to milk by, and if they 
happened to 'go wrong' were worth from 2^ to 3c a pound 
for beef. He realized that it would be slow business to grade 



266 The Guernsey Breed 

up from these, so bought all the high-grade Jersey heifer 
calves he could find. There were no Guernsey grades to be 
had. 

"In a few years the herd averaged 392 pounds of butter- 
fat. During the months of December and January, the last 
winter the grades were kept, the herd of 26 cows averaged 47 
pounds of butterfat per month. 

"About this time he decided to go into purebreds. The 
grade Guernseys were sold for $120 per head. There were 
several grade Jerseys that were just as good producers as the 
grade Guernseys, but had to be sold for $71 per head." 

The individual records of some grade Guernsey cows may 
be of interest. Elizabeth A., a grade sired by Coralman 3193, 
was dropped in. May, 1895, and dropped her calf in 1897. Her 
record for eleven years was as follows :

These records are from January to January. One year she 
calved in September and did not drop another calf for a year 
and a half, and in 12 months she gave over 12,000 pounds of 
milk and 605 pounds of butterfat, equal to 705 pounds of 
butter. She was owned by H. D. Griswold, La Crosse, Wis- 
consin. Mr. Griswold has had many grade Guernsey cows 
make over 500 pounds of butter per year, and many years the 
return from the creamery has been well over $100 per cow. 

The Jackson Farmers' Club of Duluth, Minnesota, in the 
spring of 1913 organized what they called a Grade Guernsey 
Production Register. In this association records made in reg- 
ularly organized cow testing associations are recognized, and 
no animal is admitted to the registry that has not completed 
a record of at least 200 pounds of butterfat in a year. The 
progeny of admitted cows, sired by purebred Guernsey bulls, 
are eligible to record, also any heifer sired by a bull whose 
dam has recorded 300 pounds of fat or more. The registry is 
to be carried on in the same manner as that of purebred rec- 
ord associations and the initials G. P. R., standing for Guern-

ber, followed by F. S., standing for Foundation Stock, if cow

In all work connected with a registry of grades, the diffi- 
culty is to get owners to test their grade cows under condi- 
tions that would make such a register reliable and therefore 
possible, but without doubt great good will result when it be- 
comes established on a working basis. Some breeders of pure- 
bred cattle fear that bred-for-production grades might restrict 
the demand for purebreds, on account of lower prices. There 
appears to be little danger of this unless the grades should 
prove themselves better producers than the purebreds, which 
is scarcely possible. For economical production of butterfat 
or for the highest class of market milk, the Guernsey grade 
is the ideal cow for the average dairyman. 

The demand for grade Guernsey cows far exceeds the 
supply, and I have known many of them to sell in every part 
of the United States the last year or two up to $150 each, and 
sfeveral for from $200 to $250. I have also seen $50 refused 
for grade Guernsey calves six months old, and yearling heifers 
frequently sell for $75 each by the carload. The grades of 
no other breed create such demand or bring such prices as the 
grade Guernsey, and this promises to be true for years to come.

There were 23 grade Guernseys in this competition and 
they gave an average of 10,073 pounds milk, testing 4.72 per 
cent fat, equal to 475 pounds fat for the year. This is more 
than double the average annual production of the cows of 
any state in the union, and may be taken as an indication of 
what may be expected from the use of a purebred Guernsey 
bull in a herd of grade or common cows. 

The largest record of the twenty-three was made by the 
half-blood cow Jerry, owned by A. N. Schmit, Appleton, Wis- 
consin. She was bred by Charles Breitrick of the same place, 
and was sired by King of Ellington 11096, a bull of Mr. 
Breitrick's own breeding. She was 10 years old at the time 
of the test. Her record for the year was as follows :

I think this is the largest record ever made by a cow that 
calved again during the year of her test, and the largest record 
ever made by a grade cow of any breed, up to 1912. 

Her feed for the year consisted of 1,191 pounds of Ajax 
flakes, 639 pounds wheat bran, 80 pounds gluten feed, 253 
pounds ground oats, 682 pounds corn meal, 960 pounds soil- 
ing crops, 8,332 pounds corn silage, 1,374 pounds alfalfa hay, 
164 pounds oil meal, 704 pounds ground barley, 604 pounds 
mixed hay, 1,191 pounds Unicorn dairy ration, 750 pounds 
beets, 20 pounds peas, 53 pounds corn stover. 

At market prices this food w^as worth $99.20, a feed in- 
vestment that would scare many if not most dairymen, but 
think of the net returns at Wisconsin creamery prices for fat 
- — $130.35 for fat alone above cost of the feed. 

The largest records made in this competition by grades 
of other breeds were :

Bessie was but 3 years and 4 months old at the beginning 
of the test. These figures ought to prove to any dairyman 
that the grade Guernsey is pre-eminently the cow for the man 
whose cows must pay for their living and for his also. 

A great deal of discussion has been carried on both 
through the press and in breeders' meetings in recent years 



The Guernsey Breed 271 

relative to the establishment of a register for Guernsey grade 
cows, with hopes of encouraging breeding along lines of pro- 
duction shown by the work of such cows as those that took 
part in the Wisconsin dairy cow demonstration. The Ameri- 
can Guernsey Cattle Club, at the annual meeting held in May, 
1913, considered the proposition of recognizing in some way 
such records and passed the following rules: 

List of Meritorious Grade Guernsey Cows. 

"1. Every animal eligible to publication in this list must be sired 
by a registered Guernsey bull. 

"The owner must send signed statement certifying to the name 
and register number of the Guernsey bull who is the sire of the 
grade Guernsey cow submitted for entry in this list. 

"Such statement shall also include the age, description and sketch 
markings of the animal offered and shall be on blanks prepared by 
The American Guernsey Cattle Club. 

"When such statement is filed' with The American Guernsey 
Cattle Club, the cows thus described shall be tested in a similar 
manner to the cows for the Advanced Register. 

"2. The records must be supervised and authenticated by state 
agricultural experiment stations or colleges, and made under con- 
ditions substantially similar to those in effect in the Advanced Reg- 
ister of Guernsey cattle. 

"3. Records made in regularly authorized cow testing associa- 
tions may be accepted, with the approval of the Advanced Registry 
committee, where they are recognized by an agricultural experiment 
station. 

"4. The requirements shall correspond in all respects to those 
in effect in the Advanced Register regarding the amount of butterfat. 

"If a record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, 
or previous to that day, she must produce within one year from that 
date 250.5 pounds butterfat. For each day the animal is over two 
years old at the beginning of her year's record, the amount of butter- 
fat she will be required to produce in the year will be established 
by adding .1 (one-tenth) of a pound for each such day, to the 250.5 
pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until 
the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have 
reached 360 pounds which will be the amount of butterfat required 
of all cows five years old or over. These yearly standards are based 
upon one complete year's record from the time of beginning, regard- 
less of the time lost by being dry or calving during that period, 
should such be the case. 

"5. All expense in connection with the supervision of the test 
shall be borne by the owner of the cow, and there will be no charge 
by The American Guernsey Cattle Club for the entry and publication 
of such record, after same has been approved. 

"6. That the list shall be under the general supervision and di- 
rection of the executive committee, who shall have power to make 
such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the ob- 
ject of this resolution." 



272 The Guernsey Breed 

Up to this date very few cows have been entered under 
these rules, but it is to be hoped that this work can be com- 
bined with that of the cow testing associations and the merit 
of the grade Guernsey be demonstrated to an even greater 
extent than it has been up to this time. 

Guernsey grade herds under test in different cow testing 
associations are in ahnost every instance leading all other 
grade herds in yearly butterfat production and profit. The 
following figures showing the results of the East La Crosse 
County Cow Testing Association, published June 12, 1914, 
will be of interest: 

The East La Crosse County Cow Testing Association has com- 
pleted a year's testing. Many cows have proved themselves worthy 
of attention, and the testing, by disclosing the poor cows, has helped 
to take the curse off others of the same herd. 

The five herds in the test association having the best production 
records for the year are as folows: 

1. Elmer Smith, 7 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 
341.1 pounds butterfat. 

2. Joseph Jones, 12 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 
324.5 pounds butterfat. 

3. E. D. INIiller, 18 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 
316.8 pounds butterfat. 

4. Sherman Dudley, 22 grade and purebred Guernsey cows — 
average production, 301.5 pounds butterfat. 

5. Alfred E. White, 25 grade Guernsey and Durham cows — 
average production, 296.6 pounds butterfat. 

The cow having the highest butterfat production for the year is 
owned by Sherman Dudley. She produced 433.2 pounds of butterfat 
from 9,507 pounds milk, and returned $3.40 for every dollar expended 
for feed. 

The most economical producer is owned by H. D. Lovejoy. This 
cow returned $4.66 for every dollar's worth of feed consumed, pro- 
ducing 415 pounds butterfat from 9,204 pounds of milk. Mr. Lovejoy 
also has another cow that returned $4 for each dollar's worth of feed, 
producing 342 pounds of butterfat from 6,683 pounds of milk. 

Victor Stiehl, of Albert Lea, Minnesota, has for several 
years led all cow testing associations with his grade Guern- 
seys. The tester in charge of the cow testing association at 
Scandinavia, Wisconsin, reported that 72 cows under test in 
that association produced during the month of May, 1914, 
over 40 pounds fat each, a large proportion of the cows being 
grade Guernseys. The best cow made over 82 pounds fat 
and was, of course, a Guernsey grade. 

The figures published in June, 1914, of the work of the 
cows at Island Farm, Island, Minnesota, owned by H. M. 
Hartley, of Duluth, are instructive. The following extract 



The Guernsey Breed 



273 



from the published report brings out another enviable record 
for the grade Guernsey. 

The herd is composed, in the main, of purebred and grade Guern- 
seys, but includes 16 purebred Holstein-Friesian cattle. These are 
all housed in the big 200-foot barn in which stand 152 head in steel 
and concrete stalls. 

Following are the averages in milk production, stated in pounds, 
roughly speaking, a pint to the pound. 




Grade Guernsey cow Polander. Yearly record, 16,286.1 pounds milk; 844.8 pounds 
butterfat. Owned by Montana State College of Agriculture. 

Average milk production for the year just closed, including in 
every case every animal having completed a year's work, from first 
calf heifers to aged cows : 

Purebred Guernseys (all records official) 8,919.25 pounds 

Grade Guernseys 7,354.59 pounds 

Grand average entire purebred and grade Guernsey herd.. 8,018.38 pounds 

Purebred Holstein-Friesiang 10,418.22 pounds 

Grand average entire milking herd 8,486.64 pounds 

It was only a few years ago that a 5,000-pound cow was a reason- 
ably high mark to pull for in this section, but the Island farm now 
shows a grand herd average 3,486.64 pounds above that mark. 

During the last year only two animals in the herd have made 
less than 6,000 pounds of milk, the records of these two being, respec- 
tively, 5,756.2 and 5,007.3 pounds. 

One of the farm's grade Guernseys, Lady Jane, made last year 
over seven tons of milk, to be exact 14,269.1 pounds, testing 4.32 per 
cent butterfat, yielding a total of 616.43 pounds butterfat or the 



274 The Guernsey Breed 

equivalent of 744.71 pounds of commercial butter, more than two 
pounds of butter per day for 365 consecutive days. 

These results have ben made possible by the most careful selec- 
tion of foundation stock, and the use during the last 10 years of only 
purebred herd sires of note, backed by great production records. 

The record of the grade Guernsey cow, Polander, made 
at the Montana Agricultural College, is worthy of particular 
note. 

Regarding the above grade cow, Prof. G. L. Martin of 
the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts 
located at Bozeman, Montana writes : "This cow is one we 
purchased from a shipment that came from Minnesota so we 
do not know anything about her breeding, but we know she 
has been a wonderful cow. She made good records from 1908 
to 1911, Init she freshened in April, 1911, and continued in 
milk nearly three years before she freshened again. We have 
her records for the first two years. The first year after freshen- 
ing she made in 365 days the following record : 16,286.1 pounds 
of milk and 844.8 pounds of butter-fat. She freshened again 
in July, 1915, and this is her picture when she freshened the 
last time. In the past six months she has made the following- 
records : 

Pounds Pounds

August 1,815.1 87.76 

September 1,662.0- 82.37 

October 1,461.5 71.25 

November 1,327.1 70.55 

December 1,118.1 57.63 

January 1,085.9 66.07 

Total 8,469.7 435.63 

"We are not expecting such a high record from the cow 
this time but, if she continues the way she is starting out, 
she promises to make a very fair record for this year. I will 
be glad to furnish further information relative to this cow at 
any time." 

Another good record made by a Guernsey cow is that of 
a cow owned by C. J. Hinds, of Springfield. N. Y. She was 
seven-eighths Guernsey and produced \n a year 13,388 pounds 
milk and 753.4 pounds butterfat. 

Not all dairymen can become breeders of purebreds, 
which is self-evident from the limited supply; but every farmer 
with a herd of good cows, whether native or grades of some 
other breed, can in five or six years' time breed a herd of 
grade Guernseys that will not only yield profitable creamery 
returns, but also a large revenue through the sale of surplus 
stock. 



CHAPTER XIII. 

Feeding and Care of Cows for 
Record Making 

It has seemed wise to me to have a chapter in this History 
of the Guernsey Breed on the feeding- and care of cows for 
making records, and I asked R. G. Murphy, who was for five 
years in charge of the Anna Dean Farm; at Barberton, Ohio, 
to write such a chapter. Mr. Murphy was very reluctant to 
do this, but finally, in co-operation with Carl Gockerell, who 
was responsible with Mr. Murphy for the records made at 
the Anna Dean Farm, they prepared the following. The large 
number of large records made at the Anna Dean Farm attests 
the fact that they know what they are talking about. 



In discussing the subject of the feeding and care of the 
Guernsey cow one may properly begin with the feeding and 
care of the dam of the unborn calf. 

Brief mention is made here of the importance of know- 
ing that not only the general health of the cow is good at 
the time of conception but that the generative organs are in 
a healthy condition. 

The cow having been bred she should have an abundance 
of feed of a kind that will stimulate a large and persistent 
milk flow, as it is believed that the tendency toward large 
production at the pail may be strengthened, in the case of 
the embryo calf, by proper feeding of the dam during her 
period of gestation. 

Feed the pregnant cow, therefore, in such a manner as 
will induce a large and persistent milk flow during her entire 
period of lactation. She should be kept in full, though not in- 
creasing, flesh until the time arrives when she should be 
turned dry preparatory to next freshening. While dry she 
should be fed such an amount of feed as will bring her to a 
high degree of flesh by a week before the date of birth of 
the calf. 

Cows very frequently accept the service of the bull several 
weeks, even, after they are in calf, and this leads to confusion 
as to the date when she may calve. In a case of this kind 
and where the cow has not been turned dry in time, give her 
sullficient feed to meet the requirements of the unborn calf 
and also to keep up her milk flow. Experience shows this to 



276 The Guernsey Breed 

be a better practice than an attempt to force the cow dry by- 
partial starvation or the use of feed stuffs unsuited for milk 
production. Not only will the cow produce more heavily 
when she again freshens, but the calf will be stronger and 
more vigorous at birth. 

For the dry cow, feeds rich in protein and bone-forming 
material are required. While feed stuffs rich in carbon will 
produce as high a degree of flesh and at a lower cost than will 
the proteins, yet the resulting feverish condition of the cow 
and the weak condition of the calf make their use during this 
time undesirable. The following mixture, in addition to hay 
and silage, is advised : three parts wheat bran, two parts 
ground oats, one part hominy meal or corn meal, one part oil 
meal (old process) and three parts "Ajax" flakes or corn 3 D 
grains. The use of gluten feeds is to be avoided at this time 
on account of their tendency to cause udder troubles. Wher- 
ever obtainable, fresh roots should form part of the daily ra- 
tion. Failing to secure them, one may resort to beet pulp, 
either fresh or the dried pulp soaked in water. The proper 
use of either will overcome the tendency toward constipation 
and fever natural to the dry cow, especially during the winter 
season. Molasses is especially good for adding flesh rapidly 
and also acts as a mild laxative. 

As soon as the cow's udder begins to show a feverish con- 
dition, change the feed to two parts wheat bran, two parts 
ground oats, and one part oil meal, and contmue the use of 
roots or dried beet pulp. No cow should receive over five 
pounds daily of grain during the week preceding freshening. 
If a tendency toward constipation exists, give daily a mod- 
erate physic, using one and one-half to two pounds of glauber 
salts to which one teaspoonful of hyposulphite of soda has 
been added. 

It is assumed that a record of the service date has been 
kept, and knowing the date of expected freshening the care- 
taker should be on hand to render the cow any necessary aid. 
A wrong presentation or an especially large calf will make 
assistance necessary. In the case of prolonged labor or scant 
secretion, inject into the vagina a pint of raw linseed oil. This 
will be found a great aid toward quick delivery. 

During the first week following freshening continue the 
use of the same feed mixture as advocated for the week pre- 
ceding calving. To aid in an early expulsion of the placenta 
the feed should be steamed for two hours before feeding and 
slightly warmed water should be placed at her disposal. The 



The Guernsey Breed 277 

use of cold water at this time may result in retention of the 
afterbirth. 

Bring the cow to full feed gradually. Begin with about 
10 pounds of silage per day in addition to all the good hay 
she wants. To this add not to exceed four to five pounds 
of grain daily, and increase at the rate of two-tenths to three- 
tenths of a pound per day until she is on full feed, which will 
be at the end of four to five weeks. On account of too heavy 
grain feeding soon after freshening a large number of cows 
fail to show the best work of which they are capable. The 
fat accumulated while the cow is dry carries her over the 
first few weeks following freshening in fine condition without 
the addition of much grain to the ration. 

If the cow is to be entered for a yearly record it is a 
matter of the utmost importance that she be supplied with 
hay of the very best quality obtainable, if the best results are 
desired. The hay should be soft, full of leaves, fine of stem, 
and cured without having been wet. Where hay has been 
exposed to one moderate rain a very large proportion of the 
most digestible part of its constituents is lost. The second 
cutting of alfalfa is much to be preferred to any other form 
of roughage. Good hay is the most important part of the 
ration. No grain, of any kind or in any amount in the absence 
of good hay will cause the cow to produce the best results 
at the pail. Far too little importance is made of this point 
by the average writer or feeder. Experience has shown time 
after time the importance of this part of the ration, and it is 
desired here to make this point especially emphatic. 

Feed hay often and in small amounts, only so much at a 
time as the cow will consume and with evident relish. From 
hay of good quality the cow not only secures a large amount 
of nutriment but on account of its palatability she is induced 
to eat a relatively large amount of it. This when mixed with 
the grain in the stomach forms a loose, porous mass through 
which the digestive juices pass readily. Again the relatively 
large proportion of roughage in the stomach makes the raising 
and rechewing of the food necessary, resulting in a large 
flow of saliva, so essential in the process of digestion. 

The silage should be made from well-matured corn rich 
in grain. In the case of both silage and hay it is not only 
positively useless but actually a hindrance to good work 
when the cow is required to work over a large mass of ma- 
terial lacking in nutriment. 

The use of roots is especially advised for the large pro- 



278 The Guernsey Breed 

ducer. They are valuable not so much on account of the 
nutriments they contain as on account of their good efifect on 
the digestive tract and as an aid in maintaining a keen appe- 
tite. In the absence of roots fresh beet pulp or dried pulp 
may be substituted. The latter should be soaked with water 
for 12 hours before feeding. 

Should the cow show a too rapid loss of flesh, finely 
ground corn meal may be substituted for part of the grain 
allowance (the amount to be determined by the condition of 
the cow), to which may be added up to three pints daily of 
molasses. 

In planning the grain ration, the recognized feeding 
standards are to be used merely as a guide, which is all that 
is claimed for them. Especially in the case of the large pro- 
ducers, a ration conforming to a certain feeding standard may 
be well suited to the requirements of one cow and be utterly 
unsuited to another of a different temperament. The feeder 
can determine only by experience the grain mixture on which 
the individual cow will yield the maximum results at the pail. 

Having a variety of grains at his disposal, the feeder's 
problem of determining the best grain mixture for each cow 
is greatly simplified, and the chances of the cow's tiring of 
her feed are greatly reduced. 

Prices and availability of foodstufifs vary to such an ex- 
tent in different parts of the country that it is useless to sug- 
gest here any certain grain mixture. Good grain mixtures 
may be composed from so many dififerent foodstuffs and in 
such a variety of proportions that it makes but little differ- 
ence what grains are used so long as bulkiness, comparative 
freedom from indigestible fiber, and palatability are secured in 
the ration. The matter of palatability is important since upon 
it depends the amount which the cow will eat with a relish. 

The milk flow can be materially increased by wetting the 
feed. 

In securing the best results it is very important that par- 
ticular attention be paid to keeping up a heavy and persistent 
milk flow. Nothing can be fed that will influence the percent- 
age of fat in the milk, and it is only by securing a large milk 
production that great records can be made. 

For the successful making of a large record quite as much 
depends upon the man who milks the cow as upon the man 
who feeds her. By proper manipulation of the udder the skill- 
ful milker can induce the cow to produce the last ounce of 
milk of which she is capable and also to maintain a persistent 



The Guernsey Breed 279 

flow throughout her period of lactation. In a herd in which 
there are several milkers, each of which is apparently equally 
skillful, it may be found by experiment that a certain cow will 
produce more for one milker than for another. This refers 
to the percentage of fat in the milk rather than to the quantity 
of milk. The difiference may probably be best explained by 
the fact that the cow has a greater fondness for one of the 
men than for the other. It is a safe statement to make that, 
in the case of every cow that has made a large record, she 
was much attached to the man or men who milked and fed her. 

The milk production of practically any Guernsey cow 
that has been confined in a stanchion and is producing 40 
pounds or above of milk per day can be increased by from two 
to three pounds daily by giving her the liberty of a box stall. 
This is especially true in the case of the large, heavy cow, and 
also in winter when the cow gets but little exercise. 

Intelligent and persistent efifort, the habit of close ob- 
servation, and a natural love for the-business are the human 
qualities most essential to the largest measure of success.

CHAPTER XIV. 

Guernsey Families 

I have frequently, in public addresses and in articles I 
have written, bemoaned the fact that there were so few Guern- 
sey families and so little effort being made to found families 
of the breed. With more careful study of the families of the 
breed and of the conditions concerning families in other 
breeds, I have come to believe that one of the factors that is 
doing the most to develop the Guernsey breed at this time is 
the fact that a good animal of the Guernsey breed is more 
largely sought after, regardless of its breeding, than good ani- 
mals of almost any other breed. This, I am sure, is an element 
of strength. 

While there are many people advertising animals of this 
or that family for sale, they frequently carry less than 10 per 
cent of the blood of the family claimed, and very often much 
less than that. While some breeders are carefully line-breed- 
ing some families with most excellent results, the bulk of the 
breeders are now after good ones, regardless of their breeding. 

In going over the list of class leaders, as given in the 
Journal for May, 1916, I think one would be surprised to 
see how few of the bulls that have been known as great show 
bulls or bulls of a particular line of breeding, and have, there- 
fore become famous, have sired any of the class leaders. To 
illustrate this point, I have taken what are probably 20 of the 
best known bulls of the breed, and this list is as follows: 
Governor of the Chene, Masher's Sequel, Benjamin, Lily's 
Bonny Boy, Yeksa's Prince, Prince Rosendale, Guernsey 
Champion, Sheet Anchor, Yeoman, King of the May, Lord 
Mar, Coralette's Son, France's Masher II, Mainstay, Golden 
Secret, May Rose King, Galaxy's Sequel, Glenwood Boy of 
Haddon, Golden Noble II, Raymond of the Preel. 

Of this number, only four have sired animals that are 
in the class-leader list. These are Yeoman, that sired Dolly 
Dimple, that appears three times in the list ; King of the May, 
that sired Langwater Hope, Langwater Princess and Lang- 
water Dorothy; Golden Noble II, that sired Princess of the 
Blicqs and Selby ; and Glenwood Boy of Haddon, that sired 
Dairymaid of Pinehurst, that appears twice in this list. 

What are perhaps the most-talked-of bulls of the breed 
are Masher's Sequel, Governor of the Chene, Prince Rosen- 



The Guernsey Breed 281 

dale and Lord Mar, that do not have a single one in the 
class leaders. 

I realize that so many other things enter in that it is 
difficult to judge which would be really great sires. For in- 
stance, Masher's Sequel, while he does not have a daughter 
among the class leaders, and has never sired a single cow 
with a record of over 700 pounds fat, nevertheless has 63 
daughters in the Advanced Register out of a total of 79 reg- 
istered, while some other bulls that have had an unusually 
good chance, both in the character of the cows they were used 
on and the opportunities of their daughters, have proven to 
be poor sires, when judged by the production of their daugh- 
ters, even though they may have one daughter among the 
class leaders. 

I shall, in the following tables, attempt to classify some 
of the A. R. cows of the breed as descendants of certain ani- 
mals to which we give the names of families. Oftentimes 
it will be found, however, that the animal that is given as a 
descendant of Glenwood Girl or May Rose, or any other fam- 
ily, may actually have considerably more blood of several 
little-known families. I have arranged these families (if we 
may call them such) alphabetically, to avoid any suspicion of 
favoritism. These tables do not purport to be a complete 
list of all the Advanced Register descendants, because bulls 
that have but a single Advanced Register daughter are omit- 
ted, but all are equally complete. I include, also, the descend- 
ants of some individual cows, which while they cannot be said 
to have founded families, have yet proven themselves progen- 
itors of large numbers of A. R. animals. These tables will make 
it possible to trace the relationship of very many animals of 
the breed. These lists will include the records of some cows 
that have been completed, but to which A. R. numbers have 
not yet been assigned, and, in some cases, the records may 
be subject to very slight revision before final publication. 

In these tables each generation, one further removed from 
the original ancestor, is placed three points further to the 
right in the table ; as an example, in the first table, showing 
the descendants of Bonny Lassie of Fernwood, Sweet Marie 
is a daughter of Murne Cowan, she being a daughter of Fan- 
tasia's Jeweler, he a son of Lily Ella's Jeweler, he a son, of 
Lily Ella, and she a daughter of Lily's Bonny Boy, which 
would place Sweet Marie 15 points to the right of Lily's 
Bonny Boy, or five generations, and this is as far as I have 
deemed wise to attempt to carry the tables.

The Guernsey Breed 



Imported Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood 1485. 

Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood 1485, A. G. C. C, was No. 1181 G. 
H, B. on Guernsey, was bred by D. O. Le Patourel, and was dropped 
January 14, 1883. Her tabulated pedigree will be of interest as show- 
ing how strong she was in the blood of the bull, Vauquiedor 40, F. S., 
that won first prize over the Island in 1867 and 1868.

W.* iSftis'*, .-%J>rs 



Her dam, Bonnie Lassie 1, was said by her Island owner, D. O. 
Le Patourel, to be "the best cow he ever owned," and is credited with 
being a 25-quart cow. Her son, Excelsior VII, a full brother of Bon- 
nie Lassie of Fernwood, sired Belle of the Hill II 3656, with a milk 
record of 6,239^ pounds in the Ellerslie herd; and her sons, Bonnie 
Laddie 468, P. S., and' Bonnie Laddie II 630, P. S., were used quite 
largely on the Island, the former siring many good cows, among them 
Honoria IV 5989, A. G. C. €., with a record of 9,589 pounds milk and 
455.87 pounds fat in the Florham herd. 

Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood was imported' to Boston in Septem- 
ber, 1883, by L. 'W. Ledyard, and shortly after sold to 'Wm. Paul, 
Moorestown, N. J. Her first calf, Bonny Boy 1097, was dropped April 
27, 1885, and it is through this son that most of the fame of the 
family has come. She proved to be an exceptionally good milker 
and' milked 16 quarts per day when fresh, testing 25 per cent of cream. 
In 315 days she milked over 8,000 pounds and was still milking 22 
pounds per day at the end of that time. As a four-year-old, in the 257 
days from August 15th to May 1st, she milked 7,191 pounds and was 
still milking 30 pounds when sold and shipped west. 

Her son. Bonny Boy, was sired by Imp. Fernwood Royal 645, a 
son of Countess of Fernwood, 14 pounds 12 ounces butter in seven

days, and said to be one of the best cows yet imported; so that 
Bonny Boy had good blood on both sides. 

Very few of the daughters of Bonny Boy ever had a chance to 
be tested. Coralie of Ridgeview 5926 made 334.12 pounds fat from 
8,085.1 pounds of milk, commencing at 11^ years of age. 

Bonny Gift 3912, a daughter of Bonny Boy, owned by N. K. Fair- 
bank, calved when 2 years and 7 months old, and in 375 days gave 
9,158 pounds and 1 ounce of milk, giving up to 38 pound's and 7 
ounces per day. She was sold to a Chicago man for a family cow, 
and both she and her daughter proved to be exceptionally good cows. 

Another daughter of Bonny Boy, Bonnie Lassie of Fairview 




Coralie of Ridgeview 5926 — 334.12 pounds fat from 8,085.1 pounds milk, commencing 
at 11^2 years of age. 

6002, was selected by the committee as worthy to be taken to Buflfalo 
for use in the Pan-American test, though she was 13 years old. She 
did not do well enough to go into the test but was a very good cow. 
She was the dam of Henry of Fairview 6962, that sired Jessie of Maple 
Lane 23457, A. R. 1706 A, 595.2 pounds fat. Many of Bonny Boy's 
other daughters are spoken of very highly by those who owned them. 
It is through his sons, however, that Bonny Boy is best known. 

Lily's Bonny Boy was sold when a yearling to N. K. Fairbank, Lake 
Geneva, Wis., and Mr. Lawrence, his superintendent, says he did not 
take a particular fancy to the bull, as he was rather small and a little 
beefy. He was used extensively in this herd from 1891 to 1897, spend- 
ing his whole life there except one season, when he was rented to 
Walter Hately, of Lake Beulah, Wis. Bonny Boy's sons with their 
descendants are as follows:

France 2207, A. G. C. C. 

(See picture on page 115, Chapter IV.) 

Imp. France 2207 was No. 404, F. S., on the Island, and was born 
June, 1877. She was owned by P. D. Ozanne, Les Pelleys, Castel, 
Guernsey, who still keeps the France family, and she was bought of 
T. Vidmour, Les Frances, St. Saviours, Guernsey. It was because 
she came from this farm that Mr. Ozanne called her France. Mr. 
Vidmour tells me that the cows now on his farm are distant relatives 
of France. She won fifth prize at the Island show in 1881 and 1882, 
and was imported in September. 1884, by A. F. Fuller, Catasauqua, 
Pa., and sold to Francis Shaw, Wayland, Mass. 



The Guernsey Breed 309 

She was sired by King John 137, G. H. B., and out of Belle Pale 
1460, G. H. B. While on the Island she made a record of 15.5 pounds 
butter (Guernsey weight, 18 ounces to a pound) or 17 pounds 7 
ounces English weight. When she came to this country she left on 
the Island one daughter, France 2d 10002, P. S., and' she, too. was im- 
ported by Mr. Shaw in 1892, when her daughter, France 3d 3018, P. 
S., later imported into this country and known as La Belle France 
14454, was but a year old. France herself was, when she was import- 
ed, carrying the calf Imp. France 3d' 2573, which was dropped May 
8, 1885, and also owned by Mr. Shaw. 

It will thus be noted that France and France II each had a daugh- 
ter called France III, the daughter of the first being born in this 
country, while the daughter of France II was born on the Island but 
later came to this country. It is from the France III born on the 
Island that the family now known as the France family is descended. 
Neither France nor France II has more than one daughter recorded 
on the Island, but France II was the dam of France's Jewel 3738, 
dropped just before she left the Island, and' later imported by A. J. 
Cassett, Berwyn, Pa., and was the sire of Ortive 13273, A. R. 122, with 
a record of 8,116.2 pounds milk and 469.9 pounds fat. He was also 
sire of La Grande of Chester 4169, that sired Bessie of Belle-Vernon 
10772, A. R. 962, A, with a record of 8,888.02 pounds milk or 478.26 
pounds fat. 

Mr. Ozanne has continued to name the females of the family the 
same name "France" with numerals attached without regarding the 
rule of the Island that an animal to have a name like "France IV" 
must be out of the original France, and he has now reached to France 
XL, It was also his custom to name nearly all of the bulls "France's 
Jewel" with numerals after them, and he now has France's Jewel XVII. 
Imp. La Belle France 14454 (France III 3018, P. S.) was imported 
to this country by H. McK. Twombly at a reported price larger than 
had ever been paid for a Guernsey cow up to that time. It is very 
unfortunate for the breed as well as for Mr. Twombly that she died 
of milk fever at her next calving. She was first prize young cow on 
the Island in 1894, first prize aged cow in 1895, 1899, 1900 and 1901, 
and second prize in 1897, third, 1896, and won champion prize for 
four years. She was the dam of

Glcnwood Girl 1693 was imported in her dam, September 10, 
1883, by L. W. Ledyard, of Cazenovia, N. Y., and was dropped Feb- 
ruary 7, 1884. Her tabulated pedigree follows:

Glenwood Girl was shown as a yearling by Mr. Ledyard at the 
New York State Fair and won first prize. She was shortly afterward' 
purchased by E. T. Gill, of Haddonfield, N. J., and there she lived 
to produce 12 living calves, seven of which were heifers. All of the 
heifers Mr. Gill kept and developed. Having been well acquainted 
with Mr. Gill's herd and with these daughters of the old cow, I am 
safe in saying that no other cow brought out by the records has 
equaled Glenwood Girl as a breeder.

The Guernsey Breed 



It is quite certain that the prepotency of this family comes from 
Glenwood Girl, as her daughters were sired by many different bulls. 
Glenwood Girl 2d was sired by Kalmia 740, and when 10 years old 
gave 9,944.7 pounds milk, containing 508.7 pounds fat. She lived to 
be 16 years old and then was killed because of an injury. Her first 
calves were bulls that were sold to farmers. Her first daughter was 
Armorel of Haddon 9529, that made 347.7 pounds butter with her 
first calf and 435.7 pounds with her second' calf. She was also dam of 




Glenwood Girl 2d 9108. 

Armorel 2(1 of Haddon 9530 that made 398.2 pounds butter with her 
first calf. 

Glenwood Girl 3d 9109 had a private record of 464.4 pounds fat 
by Mr. Gill. She was sired by Lord Ko Ko 2353, a son of Sir Champion 
15th 509 and Imp. Bess of Ogier 835, a cow that r\Ir. Gill said milked 
22 quarts for him. 

Glenwood Girl 4th 9110 was sired by Darius of Sunnyside 2716, 
a son of Darius 1164 and Gemsey 175, and made 432.07 pound's fat. 

Glenwood Girl 5th 9111 was a full sister of Glenwood Girl 4th 
and was the poorest one of the seven daughters and she had a rec- 
ord of 354.2 pound's fat. 

Glenwood Girl 6th 9113 (see picture on page 161, chapter V.), 
was sired by Holton 2d 2828, a son of Holton 1316 and Typone 1616. 
She was considered by most breeders as the best of the daughters 
of the old cow, but she scarcely proved as good a breeder as Glen- 
wood Girl 2d. Three or four of her calves died before reaching ma- 



The Guernsey Breed 331 

turity ami slie left only one daughter to come to milk which was only 
ordinary. 

Glenwood Girl 7th and Glenwood Girl 8th were sired by Pat of 
11 addon 3919.

The COW, Lura 7227, was bred' by Ben Clark, Whitewater, Wis. 
While but few breeders have known much about her and her de- 
scendants, she is well worthy of mention as the founder of a family. 
The herd of Ben Clark & Son has long been one of the best herds 
in Wisconsin, and for several years past every animal in the herd 
has descended from Lura in the female line. She has 5 daughters 
and 1 son registered, and the following is a tabulation of her Ad-

(See picture, page 190, Chapter \'II.) 

Duches.s of Geneva 847 was imported by S. C. Kent. West Grove. 
Pa., Auo^ust 28, 1881. beina: tjien a two-year-old heifer carrying her 
first calf. This calf, a heifer, was dropped September 11, 1881. and 
was named Nerissa of Geneva 848, and she came with her mother that 
same winter to the farm of N. K. Fairbank, Lake Geneva, Wis. 

Duchess proved to be an unusually good cow, milking her best 
in January. 1885, when she reached 36 pounds 3 ounces milk in one 
day, and 1,078 pounds and 13 ounces for the month, and from January 
1st to October 26th she milked 7,143^4 pounds milk. I find in the 
Fairbank record books, so carefully kept for years by Supt. Law- 
rence, two churn tests of Duchess. One was of seven milkings in 
March, 1885, when she gave 108 pounds 14 ounces of milk from which 
was churned 4 pounds 9 ounces of butter: and one in November, 1883, 
when in seven days she gave 182 pounds 3 ounces milk, which made 
10 pounds 12 ounces of butter, she having calved in September. She 
lived until February 17, 1887. and had' six calves, but we hear little 
of three of them. Her son, Duchine, was used some in the Fairbank 
herd and sired at least one good cow, Duchinette, who was the ma- 
ternal grandmother of Standard, A. R. .30. 

Duchess was sired on the Island bv Billy 1st 109, F. S., and her 
daughter, Nerissa by Billy 2d 110. F. S., and they were bred by F. 
Heaume, Les Houards, Forest, and Mr. Heaume still maintains a high 
class herd. 

Nerissa proved to be even better than her dam, and Mr. La\y- 



The Guernsey Breed 361 

rence says he considered her fully as good if not better than her 
sister, Materna. 

She was an unusually good cow, and as a sample of her work, 
will quote the following three successive years' work: 

1886-1887 342 days 8,167 lbs. 10 oz. milk 

1887-1888 313 days 7,881 lbs. 1 oz. milk 

1888 283 days 7,246 lbs. 3 oz. milk 

She milked well every year, and in the year October, 1892, to 
September, 1893, 356 days, she gave 8,462 pounds 12 ounces milk, and 
as Babcock tests were then being made in the herd for the first year, 
she is credited with 381.66 pounds fat, average test 4.51 per cent fat. 

Best day's milk, April 10 and 11. 1888, 42 pounds 3 ounces each. 

April 19, 1888, milk 38 pounds 12 ounces churned made 2 pounds 
5 ounces butter. 

Three days, May 14-16, 1887, HI pounds 5 ounces milk churned 
made 5 pounds 8 ounces butter. 

She died of milk fever in November, 1893. Her first calf, Ner- 
issola, gave 7,617 pounds of milk in a year, and was dam of Moyra, 
A. R. 632, 531.25 pounds fat, and she in turn dam of

Materna was born September 3, 1882, and was sired by Amber 
145, as he was usually called, but note in back of Volume I of the 
American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Book says his rightful name 
was Amber Chief. 

This bull had at least 19 registered daughters, but little is known 
of them except Laura 3d of Chateau that left many good descend- 
ants in the herd of F. W. Tratt, Georgie 1181, who did the same for 
I. J. Clapp's herd, and Bonnibell owned by W. D. Hoard and which 
he valued very highly, and he often speaks of her. 

Amber 145 also sired Kalmia, the sire of Glenwood Girl 2d. 

She made a very good record at Chicago in 1893, milking up to 
42 pounds per day, and calving April 5th, was still milking 40 pounds 
up to August 13th. She gave in 15 days of cheese test 598.2 pounds 
milk. In 90 days butter test ending August 30th, she gave 3,511.8 
pounds milk and 153.39 pounds fat. In 30 days test ending Septem- 
ber 30th, she gave 1,058.4 pounds milk and 45.16 pounds fat. After 
reaching home in October, 1893, she milked up to 25.9 pounds per day. 

Materna was also first prize Guernsey cow in World's Fair Show 
ring in 1893. 

She dropped her first calf October 27, 1884, being then 25 months 
old, and proved her greatness at once by milking over 30 pounds 
most of December and January that winter, the best day being 30 
pounds 12 ounces on January 8th. She was tested for seven milkings 
February 25th to 28th, and gave 83 pounds 11 ounces of milk and 
made 4 pounds 1 ounce of butter. 

Her records for her life time will, I think, be of interest: 

1884-1885 385 days 8,895 pounds 10 ounces milk. 

1886 262 days 6,935 pounds 8 ounces milk. 

1887-1888 594 days 14,309 pounds 11 ounces milk.

1897 111 days 2,064.6 pounds milk; had garget and was dried off. 

1898 Can find no milk record. 

I find in the books that Mr. Lawrence tested her several times 
for butter, and in seven days, March 15th to 21st inclusive, 1887, she 
gave 285 pounds 15 ounces milk and made 16 pounds 8 ounces butter, 
and March 5th to 11th, 1886, she made 16 pounds Yi ounce butter from 
264 pounds 6 ounces of milk. Best 365 days milk, 1887-'88, 10,778 
pounds. 

Best day's milk I find for her was January 30, 1887, 43 pounds 
10 ounces.

If the descendants of Materna had been kept together in the 
Fair'bank herd, wonderful results might have been accomplished. 
At least at three different times Mr. Fairbank allowed people to buy 
the pick of his herd, even as many as ten of the best young cows at 
one time, and most of these went where they were never heard of 
again. Materna was certainly a wonderful dairy cow and was so 
prepotent that her dairy qualities have been given to her descendants 
in very bountiful measure.

Masher was born May 2, 1890. He was bred by F. N. Mahy and 
owned by Alfred La Patourel, La Ramee, Guernsey, who has ever 
since this time kept bulls in his herd descendants of this bull. He 
was used on the Island until he was at least six years of age. 

The Masher and France families have been so closely inter- 
mingled that it has seemed wise to omit from the Masher family 
tables the bull, France's Masher 2d, and' his descendants. These can

May Rose Family. 

May Rose 1392, F. S., the original cow of this family, was born 
May 12, 1881, and registered as lemon fawn, and was bred and owned 
by Pierre Martel, La Masse, Castel, Guernsey. She was third prize 
aged cow at Whitsuntide Show, May, 1885. All the fame of this well 
known family came through her daughter May Rose 2d 3251, P. S., 
and later exported to England and known there as Claremont May 
Rose 3648, E. G. H. B. She was dropped May 30, 1884, and registered 
as lemon fawn and white, and was sired by Pharon 43, P. S.. a son 
of the well known Presto 14, P. S., to which a large part of the best 
Island cattle trace. She won first prize at the Whitsuntide Shows in 
1894, 1896, 1897, and second in 1895, being beaten that time by France 
3d, that she in turn beat in 1896 and 1897. She was also first prize 
at the Royal Yorkshire Agricultural Show at Harrogate in 1897, and 
third at the English Royal in 1897. 

Because so many of the best known descendants of May Rose 
2d' were in England or on the Island and never imported to this coun- 
try, and, therefore, have no A. R. records, it has seemed wise to 
make some exception to the rule and put in this table three or four of

der to connect up these later animals of the family with the original

May Rose 2d certainly was one of the greatest cows that the 
breed has produced as an individual, a producer, and a breeder. Her 
son, May Rose King, had he had the best opportunity possible in the 
Florham herd, would have shown up even more wonderfully than he 
has done, and King of the May, that was both her grandson and 
great grandson, has, as a producer of high class cows, not been 
excelled. 

Nellie 393, F. S. (R. A. A. S.) 

Nellie 393, F. S., R. A. A. S., is registered on Alderney as born 
in September, 1899. She was bred by C. F. Tourgis, Alderney, and 
she won the King's Cup and first prize over Alderney at the annual 
show, 1907. She was sold at that time to James Martel, Preel, Guern- 
sey, and registered on Guernsey as Dairymaid of the Preel 3268, F. S., 
R. G. A. S. Her date of birth is given there as August 1, 1900. She 
was given V. H. C. at the time of her registry in Guernsey on Sep-

tember 25, 1907. She was sold by Mr. Martel to Sir H. D. Tich- 
borne, Bart., Tichborne Park, Alresford, Hants, England, and' she was 
registered in England as Itchen Dairymaid 7688, E. G. H. B. Mr. 
Tichborne showed her at the R. A. S. E. at Newcastle in 1908, where 
she won lirst and third prize in the milking contest. She was in- 
jured in a train accident on the way home from these shows and 
never recovered. As far as I am able to find she had but two regis- 
tered calves, one of these being the bull Masher 63, F. S., the best 
known bull they have ever had in Alderney. He was reserve for

the King's Cup at the R. A. A. S. show in 1906 and won first prize 
and King's Cup in 1907, and was then sold to Mr. Tichborne about 
the same time as his mother, and registered in England as Masher 
2062, E. G. H. B: He was sired by Jumbo 59, F. S., a bull that now 
has 3 A. R. daughters with good Advanced Registry records in 
America, and whose dam, Cherry 332, F. S., was a sister of Flower 
of the Preel, the dam of the well known Hayes Rosie 15476, A. R.,

The Guernsey Breed 




Selma 3d of Pinehurst 23798, A. R. 786, E.— 512.98 lbs. butterfat in a year. 

Sheet Anchor 2934, A. R. 

(See picture, page 205, Chapter VIII.) 

Sheet Anchor 2934 was born December 2, 1891, was bred by 
Levi P. Morton, and was purchased as a calf by Joseph L. Hope for 
the Florham herd, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was 
first prize winner at nearly all of the Eastern fairs in 1895 and 1897, 
and was one of the great show bulls of the breed. Few bulls have 
had as great an opportunity as he, but he certainly was not so great 
a success as a sire as some of the other great bulls of the breed. His 
pedigree is as follows: 



Imp. Lord Stranford 2187^ 

1st prize over the Is- 
land. 1889.

prizes in the U. S.

Imp. Tricksey 1760. 

Tricksey 1760 was bred by John Gibson, St. IVIartin's, Guernsey, 
and was No. 267 of the Calf Register of the Royal Guernsey Agricul- 
tural Society. The following is her tabulated pedigree: 

r Willie 99, P. S. 

{Champion I, P. S J 
3d prize, 1880. ) 

LLa Rose 273, F. S. 
Beiutv. 
Lady Bird 604, F. S. 

She was imported by the late S. C. Kent, was sold by him to 
J. H. Jackson, West Grove. Pa., and later repurchased by Mr. Kent. 
She was the property of Mr. Kent until June, 1887, when she was 
sold to I. J. Clapp, Kenosha. Wis., and at the dispersal of his herd 
after his death she was sold on June 25, 1890. to R. S. Houston, 
Kenosha, Wis. In the fall of 1891 she was sold to the Minnesota 
Experiment Station, where she died of tuberculosis at about 12 years 
of age, after probably carrying the disease for several years. 

I saw Tricksey for the first time at Mr. Clapp's, May 29, 1887, 
and was impressed at first sight with her beauty and' her dairy 
qualities. 

I think she was never shown at a fair but once, at the Wisconsin 
State Fair in 1888. where she was second in aged cow class, and, 
under another judge, was sweepstakes Guernsey cow, any age_. 

She was never tested either for a week or a year while in her 
prime, but when I was at Mr. Clapp's farm on October 1, 1889. 



404 The Guernsey Breed 

Tricksey had calved September 6th, and' was milking over 40 pounds. 
At my request Mr. Clapp saved one day's milk, from which was 
made 2 pounds 7^ ounces of butter. 

While tubercular in her 11th year at the Minnesota Station she 
made 340.7 pounds fat in a year. R. S. Houston once wrote me that 
she was the richest milker he ever had in his herd. 

Tricksey was evidently always a regular breeder. Her first calf 
was St. John of West Grove 10791, sired by Yellow Sultan 367, and 
was dropped May 11, 1884. This bull had no registered progeny, as 
far as I can find. 

Her second calf was Tricksey 2d 2633, last owned by W. I. Hamil- 
ton, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and she went in the tubercular wreck 
of his herd in 1890. She was a very choice cow, and made 8 pounds 
of butter in 3^ days as a three-year-old. Her sire was Lord Balti- 
more 456. 

The records of her other descendants are as follows:

The Guernsey Breed 



Yeksa 2426 was bred' by I. J. Clapp, Kenosha, Wisconsin, who 
was the second man to bring Guernseys into Wisconsin, in the fall 
of 1881. She was born April 12, 1885, and was named after a Turkish 
nurse who had, shortly before the birth of this calf, come from Syria 
and been engaged by Mr. Clapp to care for his little niece. 




Yeksa 2426. 

Yeksa was sold, with her half-brother Puck, to Mrs. Etta A. 
Foster, Sparta, Wisconsin. Mrs. Foster tested the cow at both two 
and three years of age, and reported that she made 561 pounds of 
butter as a two-year-old, and over 600 pounds as a three-year-old; but 
the reports show that part of the time a pound of butter was made 
from 11 1-3 pounds of milk, and in light of later test work, the rec- 
ords may be taken with a grain of allowance. There is no doubt, 
however, that she was a great cow. Mrs. Foster raised from the pair, 
which were half brother and sister, one bull and two heifers. The 
bull was Yeksa's Prince 1943, and the daughters were Queen Vashti 
6051. A. R. 174, 435.57 pounds fat at 14 years of age, and Bonny lean 
3646. Yeksa's Prince was sold to W. D. Richardson, Garden City, 
Minn., and Bonny Jean to Nels Alartinson, Hutchinson, Minn. 

Queen Vashti was bred to her own sire, and produced Yeksa's 
Queen, and the cow and calf were sold to A. J. Philips, West Salem, 
Wis. It would seem as though the blood had been effectually scat- 
tered, and so it was for a time; but later, through the efforts of the 
late Fred Rietbrock, much of it was again united in the Helendale 
herd. Bonny Jean, the oldest of the three calves, was born September

13, 1887. She was sold to go to Minnesota but later Mr. Rietbrock 
purchased most of her descendants and united her blood with that of 
the brother and sister. Yeksa's descendants are as follows:
